Biographical Information

I am a professor in the statistics department at Colorado State University. My research is primarily in the area of extreme value analysis, particularly in describing and modeling tail dependence. Much of my work is motivated by problems describing risk from extreme weather events, and I have collaborated with scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs.

I live in Fort Collins with my two sons. I like to bicycle, hike, ski, camp, and generally be outdoors.


Research

Interests: Extreme value theory, modeling multivariate extremes, heavy tailed phenomena, spatial statistics, meteorological/environmental applications.
