Margaret Short is an Associate Professor of Statistics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Department of Statistics, holding this position since 2006. She earned her PhD in Statistics from the University of Minnesota in 2003.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Statistics, University of Minnesota, 2003
Dr. Short specializes in Bayesian and spatial statistics with strong applications in environmental and ecological domains, natural resource management (including salmon escapement and halibut movement modeling), and astronomy. She employs both standard statistical software (OpenBUGS, JAGS, Stan) and custom C++ implementations for Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, demonstrating technical versatility in statistical computing.
Her publication record reveals a consistent focus on applying advanced Bayesian techniques to critical environmental challenges, particularly in fisheries management and glaciology. These works showcase interdisciplinary collaborations bridging statistical theory with practical ecological and climate science applications.
Margaret has supervised graduate student Jasper on salmon passage modeling and undergraduate student Khurana on glacier evolution research. Her academic profile indicates active involvement in grant-funded interdisciplinary projects addressing natural resource management and climate impacts, though specific funding mechanisms aren't detailed in available information.
