This
is the web page of Michael Rutter, Ph.D., Assistant
Professor
of Statistics at Penn
State
Erie, The Behrend College. My office hours and
contact information can be found here. I am currently teaching a wide variety of upper and lower level statistics courses at Penn State Erie, as well as some lower level mathematics courses. My research areas of interest include Bayesian statistics, statistical computing, population modeling, and mathematical biology. Current projects include modeling lake trout and sea lamprey interactions in Lake Huron and ranking college hockey teams. I am also involved in the Undergraduate Summer Research Program in Mathematical Biology and the Minor in Statistics, both offered at Penn State Erie.
I received a Ph.D. in Fisheries from Michigan State University in the summer of 2004. My dissertation dealt with the creation of lake trout population model that included sea lamprey predation via a functional response model. I also have a M.S. in Statistics from Michigan State, a M.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Tulsa, and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
