Curriculum Vitae

Francisco J. Samaniego received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from UCLA in 1971. He joined the UC Davis faculty in 1972, following an NSF-sponsored postdoctoral year in the Department of Statistics at the Florida State University . Dr. Samaniego's research interests include Mathematical Statistics, Decision Theory and the foundations of Statistics. Many of his recent investigations have centered around the performance of Bayesian methods. He also has a long-standing interest in the fields of Reliability Theory, Survival Analysis and Sampling Theory. He has served as a consultant to the California Departments of Conservation, Corrections, Education, Employment Development and Transportation. Much of his applied work deals with statistical modeling and inference in the fields of Education, Engineering and Public Health.

Dr. Samaniego is an elected Fellow of the American Statistical Association, the Royal Statistical Society and the

Institute of Mathematical Statistics

and is a member of the International Statistical Institute. In 2002, he was awarded the U C Davis Academic Senate's Distinguished Teaching Award. He served as the Theory and Methods Editor of the

Journal the American Statistical Association

in 2003 - 2005, and has been an Associate Editor of

Naval Research Logistics

since 1982. In 2004, he became the eighteenth annual recipient of the UC Davis Prize for Undergraduate Teaching and Scholarly Achievement. Frank's hobbies are reading, golf and paddle tennis.
