Faculty - Dr. Abdul A. Hussein

 

Research Interests

My research areas include Sequential analysis and its applications, Survival and event history analysis, Finite mixtures and their applications, Statistical processes control, Health outcomes research.

Supervision

I have successfully supervised several master’s students over the past 5 years.  I am currently seeking candidates who have strong background in the theory of probability, and stochastic processes and their estimation techniques. I have several projects with funding that could potentially lead to successful Ph.D thesis.
