Kenneth J. Ryan’s Webpage

Welcome to my webpage! I am an associate professor of statistics in the department of applied statistics and operations research (ASOR) at Bowling Green State University (BGSU). ASOR is in the BGSU college of business administration (CBA). The information below is related to my main duties at BGSU—research, teaching, and service.

Spring 2012 Schedule:

• Teaching:
  • STAT 4160/5160 TH 9:30am-10:45am
  • MATH 6820 MW 8:05am-9:20am (I'm taking Professor Albert's class.)
  • Office hours: TH 10:45am-11:45am and/or by email appointment.
  • Additional course information is available on Blackboard.
• Service:
  • Director of the statistical consulting center.
  • ASOR meetings W 1-2:30pm on 1/11, 1/25, 2/8, 2/22, 3/14, 3/28, 4/11, and 4/25.

Research:

You can trace my mathematics genealogy. My research interests include Bayesian data analysis, design of experiments, and discrete data problems. My CV has a complete list of refereed publications. If you would like to discuss related problems, please contact me. (An email address is given at the bottom of this page; more contact information is available by clicking on my picture above.)
