2009-10 FightMetric Fellowship Cohort
John Henry
John is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics whose research has focused on extreme value theory with applications in environmental/ecological and actuarial science. Dr. Henry received his PhD in statistics from Oregon State University in 2008. John is also an MMA fighter, winning the light heavyweight title in his last amateur fight with Brass Knuckles Cage Fighting Promotions. He has recently turned pro, and is currently training with the HIT Squad in Granite City, IL. Reed Kuhn Reed first got hooked on MMA as a teenager in the early 90’s, but rediscovered the sport in grad school while working on statistical analysis of the NFL. Since 2005, he has not missed a single televised MMA event, has traveled as far as Germany to attend live UFC events, and credits The Ultimate Fighter show for making his wife a fan (and thus, partially accepting of his MMA habit). He is a strategy management consultant by trade, with a BS in Physics, a Master’s in Systems Engineering, and an MBA from Duke University specializing in Operations and Decision Sciences. Leland Roling Leland is currently a Staff Writer for BloodyElbow.com, one of the most popular blogs on the Internet covering the sport of mixed martial arts. He is also a full-time professional web developer who builds data-driven websites that make the Internet work for you. In his free time, he is President of the Melvin Manhoef Fan Club, watches way too much MMA, and passionately awaits the Chicago Cubs World Series title, which, quite frankly, will probably kill him. Brian Reich Brian received a PhD in biostatistics from the University of Minnesota in 2005, and is currently an assistant professor of statistics at North Carolina State University. His research interests include modeling spatial and spatio-temporal data, environmental applications, Bayesian methods, and nonparametric statistics. For more information, please view his website. |
