General teaching;

​



​I have taught a large variety of topics to students at different levels over the years. In the earlier part of my career I devoted a lot of time to teaching introductory type statistical classes to physicians and biologists, such as the CESAM, and many associated masters level programs. These covered basic methods for clinical and epidemiological research. At a higher level I taught classes in multivariate methods to the then DEA, later to become the Masters Level 2 students in public health. During that same period I was a regular participant in the teaching program at the Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Analyse de l'Information at Rennes, France, giving several different courses in stochastic processes and sequential methods. 

​

During my time at the Mathematics Department of the University of California at San Diego, I taught at some point most of the undergraduate mathematics classes (algebra, calculus of many variables, differential equations, complex analysis, introductory number theory) as well as theoretical and applied statistics, stochastic processes, bayesian methods, epidemiology pharmacokinetics and clinical trials to both undergraduate and graduate students.

​

Several of my students have received awards during their studies under my direction including the prestigious David Byar young investigator award and the Thomas Chalmers student scholarship award. In France and the US where I have spent most of my career, I have supervised more than 30 masters dissertations. During my one year in the U.K. at Lancaster University in 2006 I supervised 5 masters dissertations, all of which were successful and 3 of which received distinctions. At the University of Virginia I taught a number of classes in epidemiology and in applied stochastic processes within the Department of Statistics.



More recently I have been involved in several one, two and three day courses on some specific topic. Together with colleagues, we have given courses based on the 2019 text Survival Analysis. Every year since 2011 we have given courses on early phase trial methodology at ISCB Conferences, ASA meetings and Society for Clinical Trials meetings. We have regularly given courses at the British Medical Association headquarters in London, U.K. and the London Mathematical Society. Over the years I have been a regular participant at teaching workshops such as Methods in Clinical Cancer Research week long courses in Flims, Switzerland and courses on clinical trial design at the European School of Oncology in Lugano, Switzerland.
