This fall Dave Campbell joined the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University as a full professor. Before that, Dave was a statistics faculty member at Simon Fraser University. Much of his research relates to model relaxations, Bayesian sampling algorithms, and parameter estimation for models with complex likelihood features. Dave brings to the Carleton University a research program in statistical and computational methodology inspired by collaborations in archeology, forensic science, psychology, ecology, and toxicology. In Ottawa, Dave is expanding his ties to federal labs and strengthening his ties to environmental and social-good applications while further distancing himself from his 2016–2017 era where his work with industrial partners focused on ways to get you to buy more things (he says, “sorry about that”). Dave also serves as public relations officer of the Statistical Society of Canada.
