| Bio: | Jim Helmreich majored in mathematics and economics at Bowdoin College, received a masters and Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Maryland, and a MS in Statistics from The State University of New York at Albany. He served two years in the Central African Republic as a Peace Corps volunteer and also taught high school mathematics in New Hampshire. Some photos from the CAR taken by his friends in the early '80s while he was there are available at this site (He's in the (1,2) and (1,3) photos). My, but some of us were younger (and thinner) then. Most recently he spent some time at the School of Public Health, part of the University at Albany studying statistics. His original mathematical training was as a logician, in particular a Model Theorist. Research he have done concerns very highly structured random graphs. Lately he has become interested in statistics, especially methods for adjusting for potential bias in observational studies. He is interested in all aspects of undergraduate mathematical education. A current project (in collaboration with Bob Pruzek of SUNY Albany) is a text on Propensity Score Analysis. PSA a statistical technique for removing bias in observational studies. A version of a current working paper may be found here. Mr. Helmreich lives in the town of Milan in Northern Dutchess County with his wife Meg, daughters Lithia and Rae, a dog, three cats, fish and mice (the latter uninvited). He enjoys gardening, biking, swimming, and reading a good book (especially science fiction and natural history). |
