Dr. McCulloch received his PhD in Statistics from Cornell University and returned to the faculty there after an appointment at Florida State University. Before coming to UCSF, he spent 18 years at Cornell, eventually becoming Professor and the founding Chair of the Department of Statistical Science. He conducts primary research in the areas of longitudinal data analysis, generalized linear mixed models, and latent class models. He is the co-author of four textbooks and author of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics monograph, "Generalized Linear Mixed Models." He is a fellow of the American Statistical Association, and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. He was the primary lecturer for an NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conference in 1999 on the topic of generalized linear mixed models. He has over 30 years of statistical consulting and collaborative experience.
