About Me

Brian N. White

I am a Research Statistician Developer on the Statistical Modeling team at JMP, with a background in spatial statistics, extreme value theory, and collaborative research in public health and medicine.

I earned my PhD in Statistics & Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2026, advised by Richard L. Smith. My doctoral research developed scalable methods for combining observations and computer simulations to estimate environmental extremes.

Alongside my doctoral studies, I worked as a biostatistician at Wake Forest School of Medicine, where my work spanned opioid misuse surveillance, clinical trials, and statistical consulting.

My broader research interests center on spatial extremes and the integration of data across sources and spatio-temporal scales, with an emphasis on scalable methods for high-resolution inference in environmental and public health applications.
