Joni Ricks-Oddie, PhD (UCLA, 2012) is the Director of the UCI Center for Statistical Consulting and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science where she serves as the Director of the BERD Unit.

Dr. Babak Shahbaba's independent research focuses on Bayesian nonparametric methods and hierarchical Bayesian models and their applications in large-scale biological sciences. Because Bayesian methods tend to be computationally intensive (especially for large-scale studies), he has also devoted a part of his research to developing more efficient computational methods in order to facilitate the application of Bayesian statistics to data-intensive scientific problems.
