Scott Goddard

Scott Goddard serves as Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks since 2015, holding a PhD from Texas A&M University (2015). His office is located in CH 201E with contact via sdgoddard@alaska.edu.

His research spans Bayesian Statistics, focusing on theoretical development and practical applications. Key interests include hypothesis testing, variable selection, and Bayesian philosophy, with methodologies applied to engineering, ecological, and petroleum systems. Recent work demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration through reservoir characterization algorithms and wildlife movement modeling.

Publications reveal a trend toward real-world Bayesian implementations, particularly in energy extraction and ecological monitoring, often co-authored with graduate researchers. His advising includes UAF students Yuhun and J. M. Eisaguirre, whose thesis work contributed to peer-reviewed publications in SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering and Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
