Pamela Ohman Strickland Department of Biostatistics |
And,
here's a self portrait, in case you're |
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. As a biostatistician, my responsibilities include statistical collaborations with medical researchers, pure statistics research, and teaching. My credentials include a A.B. (latin for B.A.) in mathematics from Bowdoin college in the loveliest state of all, Maine, and both a masters and PhD in Statistics from Cornell University. Just after finishing my PhD, I spent four years way down south, as an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of Florida.
My research focuses on statistical methods, including some very theoretical concepts as well as other more applied areas. I believe that the key to being a good statistician is a continuing involvement in both ends of the theoretical-applied spectrum, with ideas from one end spilling over and becoming new ideas in the other. My research interests at the theoretical end include saddlepoint methods, frailty models (survival analysis with random effects) and computational statistics (the EM algorithm), and at the applied end, my interests include environmental and bio-medical applications.
