Timothy Kennel
Lately, my many research curiosities have focused on frame construction, the analysis of categorical data, the use of administrative records to improve surveys, prediction theory for finite populations, sampling, adaptive survey designs, neural networks, and random trees.

Susan Kenney McCulloch
Concentrating on the social sciences, I'm interested in measurement errors associated with interviewing adolescents and children. I'm also interested in pretesting methods, interviewer-respondent interactions, interviewer variance, and questionnaire design methods.

Michael Lemay
Research interests: interviewer attitudes and performance, role of the interviewer, interviewer-respondent interactions, conversational interviewing, interviewer variance, cooperation in panel surveys.

Dan Liao
My concentration is on statistical science. Some research interests are: regression diagnostics and variance estimation for complex designs, mixture modeling analysis and multiple imputation.

Benmei Liu
My concentration is on statistical science. Some research areas I am interested in include: Small area estimation, variance estimation after imputation, nonresponse errors for longitudinal surveys.

Aaron Maitland
Concentration on the social sciences. Research interests: social-psychological causes of nonresponse and measurement error.

Brett McBride

Sylvia Meku
Concentration is on Statistical Science. My areas of interest include: Sampling methods, estimation, weighting/non-response adjustment and statistical modelling using regression analysis.

Santanu Pramanik
Generalized Linear Mixed Model, Small Area Estimation, Bayesian Estimation, Statistical Inference in the Presence of Missing Data.

Cleo Redline
My research interests include measurement errors in surveys, mode effects, and the visual design of surveys (both paper and Web).

Michael Springer
I currently work as a mathematical statistician at the U.S. Census Bureau in the decennial census area. My concentration is in statistical science and my areas of interest include data collection, questionnaire design, and sampling.
