Joshua D. Patrick

Dr. Joshua D. Patrick is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Statistical Science at Baylor University. He holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from Baylor University (2013), an M.S. in Mathematical Sciences from the University of West Florida (2009), and a B.S. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from the same institution (2007). His research focuses on spatio-temporal statistical modeling, particularly in environmental applications. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Davis, and returned to Baylor to teach. His work emphasizes applying statistical methods to real-world problems, such as solar irradiance analysis.
