• Statistics
• Non-stationary time series analysis
• Classification/discrimination problems in time series

Gabriel Chandler's research focuses on classification and discrimination in time series, that is, data that is observed at regularly spaced intervals.  Applications involve discriminating earthquakes from mining or nuclear explosions based on seismic records.  Such techniques are applicable in monitoring nuclear proliferation treaties.  Applications also involve classifying types of animals based on geophone recordings of their footsteps.   The main feature of these techniques is that they are shift-invariant.  In other words, it is not required that one know the precise start and end of a signal in order to discriminate.

Chandler's interests within the classroom involve the implementation of technology to enhance statistical education.  Outside the classroom, he enjoys many different athletic activities.  In particular, he is competitive cyclist, as well as a former collegiate baseball player and coach.  Musically, he plays the guitar and is interested in many styles of music.   

He teaches all the statistics classes offered through the math department as part of the applied statistics minor program, as well as Math 107, the Introduction to Statistics course for majors outside of mathematics.
