Assistant Professor
Department of Mathematical
and Statistical Sciences
University of Colorado Denver
My research focuses on statistical methods in the social sciences, in addition to research on substantive issues related to education and policy. My statistical research currently centers on developing and assessing methods used in selection situations (e.g., admissions or pre-employment decisions). I also conduct quantitative research on profile analysis methods and measurement error models. I also enjoy participating in substantive research projects in the areas of education and the economics of education. Additionally, I serve as a member of the National Indian Education Study Technical Review Panel, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education through the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP).
