Research Interests

Research: My main area of interest is nonparametric statistics, robust inference, circular data analysis, and design of experiment.

Research with graduate students: I would like to work with graduate students who are interested in learning the theory of non-parametric statistics, robust parameter estimation, circular statistics or the design of experiment.

Research with undergraduate students: I would like to work with undergraduate students who are interested in learning statistical computation with R or SAS programs. Moreover, I can help in designing an experiment, analyzing of the circular data, or learning nonparametric statistics.
