David Sheets is a prime example of a problem solver. In his scholarship, he applies his skills at quantitative analysis to a wide range of fields from bird migration to dental forensics to paleontology and entomology. His work is more than just number crunching in that he draws simple conclusions from big data. With the students, he again applies his talent for solving problems, whether it is advising, teaching, or playing jazz. However, to David, the students are not treated as numbers but as individuals that get his undivided attention in order to get the best education.
Did you know… Dave’s current research work is focused on statistical approaches to understanding the changes in ocean life during the climate change that occurred during the end of the Ordovician mass extinction.
