Arthur Nádas, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Biostatistics

Research Interests : Dr. Nádas’ research interests includes mathematical modeling of biological phenomena, statistical design and analysis of experiments, as well as the development of new statistical methods. Specific application areas include toxicology, immunology, epidemiology, genetics, speech and pattern recognition, “data mining” and biostatistics in general.

Education : Dr. Nádas earned his Ph.D. in Mathematical Statistics from Columbia University in 1967 under David O. Siegmund. His teachers include Herbert Robbins, Theodore Anderson, Lajos Takács, Natasha Renner and Martha Benesh.

Other Training : Dr. Nádas earned his diploma at the IBM Systems Research Institute in New York City in 1975, with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
