Graduate Fellow January 2008-May 2008 Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI), RTP, NC 27709 USA Participated in the program on Risk Analysis, Extreme Events and Decision Theory; Developed the reference prior for multivariate extreme distributions. Graduate Research Assistant August 2007-August 2008 University of Missouri-Columbia, Department of Statistics, Columbia, MO 65201, USA Developed Hierarchical Bayesian Models to for the memory processes and the memoryrecognition experiments; apply objective priors (constant prior, right Harr prior, etc.) to improve the estimation of memory parameters. Graduate Instructor August 2005-May 2007 University of Missouri-Columbia, Department of Statistics, Columbia, MO 65201 USA Taught independently for the course Introduction to Probability and Statistics II. Graduate Teaching Assistant August 2003-May 2005 University of Missouri-Columbia, Department of Statistics, Columbia, MO, 65201 USA Taught statistical software Minitab for the course Elementary Statistics ; supervised the computer lab.
