He received his MS and PhD in statistics from the University of Iowa. He spent 10 years on the faculty of the Statistics Department at the University of North Carolina. Dr. Wegman's early career focused on the development of aspects of the theory of mathematical statistics. In 1978, he went to the Office of Naval Research (ONR), where he was the head of the Mathematical Sciences Division. In this role, he was responsible for a variety of cross-disciplinary areas, including such projects as mathematical models of biological intelligence, mathematical methods for remote sensing, and topological methods in chemistry. Dr. Wegman was the original program director of the basic research program in ultra-high-speed computing at the Strategic Defense Initiative's Innovative Science and Technology Office (âStar Warsâ program). As the SDI program officer, he was responsible for programs in software development tools, highly parallel architectures, and optical computing. Dr. Wegman came to George Mason University with a background in both theoretical statistics and computing technology, with knowledge of the considerable data analytic problems associated with large-scale scientific and technical databases. In 1986, he launched the Center for Computational Statistics and developed the MS in statistical science degree program. More recently he has been involved with the development of the Institute for Computational Science and Informatics and the new PhD program in computational sciences and informatics at George Mason University. He has been consultant to a variety of governmental and private sector organizations, organized some 15 major workshops and conferences, and served as associate editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Statistics and Probability Letters and Communications in Statistics. He presently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal
