Research Interests

• The development of fitting zero-modified models, that is, zero-inflated models where the zero ``inflation'' parameter may be negative.
• The development of log-likelihood based methods for model comparison that are based upon multiple simple hypothesis tests rather than the more traditional single multiple hypothesis test. .

Teaching

• MA419: An introductory bio-statistics course to enivironmental sceince and microbiology students
• The ``Bridging Course'' in Mathematics: This is a special course given to students that are allowed entry directly into third year engineering programs on the basis that they have received good level 7 degrees elsewhere. Its purpose is to bring the students up to speed with mathematics.
• The ``Access Foundation Course in Mathematics'': This is a special course given to students that are considering entering NUI, Galway as mature students. This is a very rewarding course to teach---people with little or no mathematical knowledge at the start of the course are brought, in an eight month period, to a relatively high level of mathematics ability, comparable to that of students finishing first year university programs.
• The Generic Skills Course in Statistics: The module aims to give post-graduate students, from any discipline, possibly with little or no previous knowledge of statistics the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the basic principals underlying statistics, and to develop an excellent working knowledge of how to perform a wide variety of statistical tasks:
