Pierre R.L. Dutilleul is a Professor in the Department of Plant Science at McGill University, with additional roles as Associate Member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Bieler School of Environment. He also holds an Adjunct Professorship at Université de Sherbrooke. His editorial leadership includes serving as Editor-in-Chief of Environmental and Ecological Statistics (Springer) since 2011, and he is a Board Member of Centre SÈVE.
Education:
- B.Sc. in Mathematics
- M.Sc. in Statistics
- D.Sc. in Mathematics (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium)
His research integrates statistical methodologies with environmental and biological applications. Primary domains include spatio-temporal heterogeneity analysis for ecological/environmental data and seismology, and modern phytometry using CT scanning to analyze plant structures and soil properties. His work emphasizes fractal geometry, multi-scale modeling, and geostatistical innovations.
Awards:
- Stanford University World Rating of Top 2% Scientists List (2020)
He advises Ph.D. candidates (e.g., Tian Tian, Azza Larafa) and co-supervises Master's students at Université de Sherbrooke. Major grants include an NSERC Major Equipment Grant for establishing McGill's CT Scanning Laboratory and two CFI grants for expanding macro/micro-CT capabilities. Collaborative projects span institutions in Canada, the US, Europe, and Japan.
He founded and directs the Environmetrics Laboratory, specializing in statistical methods for environmental data, and oversees the CT Scanning Laboratory for agricultural/environmental research. His team includes researchers across disciplines like statistics, biology, and environmental science.
