Jeffrey Picka

Jeffrey Picka is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Science, serving as the Statistics/Actuarial Science Undergraduate Advisor.

His research examines definitions of disorder and unpredictability to evaluate complex numerical models of natural phenomena. Key areas include:

• Spatial statistical inference for non-stationary data
• Methodologies for assessing simulation-data alignment in climate change, powder flow, and epidemic modeling
• Integration of science studies (philosophy, sociology, history) into statistical education frameworks

He emphasizes statistics as a discipline that constructively utilizes doubt to enhance scientific information quality.
