My research interests are in the design of experiments, most recently in experiments that involve deterministic computer simulators as experimental platforms, either alone or in combination with a traditional physical experiment. With Brian Williams and Bill Notz, I am the co-author of the book ``The Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments'' on this subject. With Robert Bechhofer and David Goldsman, I am co-author of a book on the design of experiments for statistical selection and screening. I have special interest in applying statistical methods to study the performance of bone-implant systems and on the development of biomaterials for joint restoration.  I have a long-term collaboration with
colleagues at the Hospital for Special Surgery working on such projects.
