Design and analysis of multi-fidelity computer experiments
I’m interested in developing new statistcal emulators and experimental designs for multi-fidelity computer experiments. The hope is to
- maximize predictive power of the multi-fidelity emulator via a careful design of experiments, and
- ensure this model achieves a desired error tolerance with confidence.

STT 801: Design of Experiments
Graduate course, Michigan State University
Semester: 2023 Spring, 2022 Spring, 2021 Spring
Textbook: Experiments: Planning, Analysis, and Optimization, 2nd Edition
Design of experiments (DOE) is the laying out of a detailed experimental plan in advance of doing the experiment. In this course, students will learn various experimental designs and their applications. Students will also learn to analyze data and determine the relationship between potential factors and the output of that process from planned experiments, using the statistical software (R). This course covers the following topics:
- experimental designs: fractional factorial experiments, Latin squares, orthogonal arrays, robust parameter designs, and other designs
- data analysis for experimental data: linear regression model, analysis of variance and covariance (ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), random effect model, response surface methodology, and others
- statistical software: R
- model interpretation
- presentation and data visualization
STT 481: Capstone in Statistics
Undergraduate course, Michigan State University
Semester: 2023 Spring, 2022 Fall, 2022 Spring, 2021 Fall, 2021 Spring, 2020 Fall, 2020 Spring, 2019 Fall, 2019 Spring, 2018 Fall
Textbook: An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R
Statistical capstone experiences are essential for statisticians to perform an in-depth analysis of real-world data. Capstone experiences can develop statistical thinking by engaging in a consulting-like experience that requires skills outside the scope of traditional courses: defining a complex problem, analyzing data, building a strong team, and communicating effectively. In this course, selected projects will be given to illustrate special problems encountered by professional statisticians in their roles as consultants, educators, and analysts. This course covers the following topics:
- problem formulation
- advanced statistical modeling, preliminary data analysis, and machine learning
- Statistical software (R)
- thorough and elaborate statistical analyses of data
- final presentation and data visualization
