Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Mehrdad is a Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics, Northumbria University. He earned his PhD from Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in 2017. Before joining Northumbria University in 2023, Dr. Mehrdad gained extensive international research experience through five years of postdoctoral fellowships at prestigious institutions:
- Institute of Statistics, Department of Applied Mathematics, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan (November 2021 – January 2023)
- Department of Statistics, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran (March 2021 – November 2021)
- Department of Statistics, University of Pretoria, South Africa (November 2018 – February 2021)
Research interests
His statistical research primarily is in the related fields of classification, cluster analyses, factor analysis, linear modeling, as well as multivariate and matrix-variate analyses in the field of applied statistical inference. He focuses on using finite mixture models and on estimation via the EM algorithm. A common theme of his research in these fields has been statistical computation, with particular attention being given to the methodology of distribution theory.
