Dryden, Ian L

Professor

My broad research interests concern the development of generic statistical methodology motivated by important real-world applications. I am particularly interested in geometrical problems, for example the statistical analysis of the shapes of objects. Such data are routinely available in a very wide variety of settings, from the smallest scale of atoms and molecules in chemistry, to the study of complex organisms in biology and medicine.
