Biography:
Amy Braverman received the Ph.D degree in statistics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in 1999, the M.A. degree in Mathematics from UCLA in 1992, and the B.A. degree in economics from Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, in 1982. She is a Senior Statistician at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Her research interests include information-theoretic approaches for the analysis of massive data sets, data fusion methods for combining heterogeneous, spatial and spatio-temporal data, and statistical methods for the evaluation and diagnosis of climate models, particularly by comparison to observational data. Dr. Braverman focuses on the use of remote sensing data, and has designed and analyzed new Level 3 data products for MISR and other NASA missions.
