Research interests focus on statistical methodologies, including order restricted inference, multivariate order constraints, and applications in aviation composite materials (A-basis/B-basis parameters). His early work established the unbiasedness of likelihood ratio tests under closed convex cone constraints. Recent research involves pseudo restricted maximum likelihood estimation and algorithmic advancements for cone projections.
No specific academic awards or grants are listed in the provided materials. He advises Master's theses on aviation material quality parameters but no student names are disclosed.
Teaching responsibilities include advanced courses such as Matrix Theory (Stat 701) and Theory of Linear Models I (Stat 872), emphasizing matrix analysis, multivariate distributions, and linear model theory.
