Ejaz Ahmed is professor of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science. Before joining Brock, he was a professor and head of Mathematics at the University of Windsor and University of Regina. Prior to that, he had a faculty position at the University of Western Ontario. Further, he is a Senior Advisor to Sigma Analytics (Data Mining & Research), Regina.

He is an internationally known scholar and an established researcher. My research interests concentrate on big data, predictive modeling, data science, and statistical machine learning with applications in many walks of life. His research has been supported by a variety of grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada since 1987, the Canadian Institute of Health Research, Ontario Centre for Excellence (OCE) and other sources throughout my academic career. Importantly, his NSERC grant was renewed in 2017 for another five years, with “Outstanding (O)” in all three categories. According to that year’s competition statistics, only two applications overall from ALL small universities received a ranking of “OOO” or higher.

Ahmed was awarded the prestigious Bualuang ASEAN Chair Professorship. The University of Punjab, the largest and the oldest place of higher learning in Pakistan, named one of the auditoriums in his name. His paper entitled “Nonparametric Regression Estimates based on Imputation Techniques for Right-Censored Data,” received the Grand Prize Advancement Award by the International Society of Management Science and Engineering Management. The paper was selected by an international awards member team spanning 11 countries.

His research achievements have been recognized with honours and awards, including the prestigious status of Fellow of the American Statistical Association, editor/associate editorship to influential scientific journals, adjunct/visiting professorships, and invited scholarly talks around the globe. He has supervised numerous PhD/Master students and Post-doctoral Fellows. He is an elected member of the International Statistical Institute and a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. He served as a Board of Director and Chairman of the Education Committee of the Statistical Society of Canada.

Ahmed authored several books and edited/co-edited several volumes and special issues of scientific journals. He is in the process of finalizing special issues of two different journals and Ahmed has been the Technometrics Review Editor for the past ten years. Ahmed was a member of the Board of Directors of the Statistical Society of Canada and Chair of its Education Committee and also the Vice President of Communications for the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics and member of the “Discovery Grants Evaluation Group” and the “Grant Selection Committee” of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. So far, he published approximately 200 research articles in scientific journals and reviewed more than 100 books and travelled the globe doing 200 scholarly presentation.

Funding from OCE and NSERC’s Engagement grant have allowed him to apply innovative strategies in a partnership with a local company in St. Catharines, Ontario, including data analysts, statisticians, and software developers.

He organized several international workshops and sessions in conferences around the world. Ahmed has been organizing the International Workshop on the Perspectives on High-dimensional Data Analysis since 2011 with national and international collaborators.

The research activity has given him a unique opportunity to train highly qualified personnel (post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, research associates, research assistants, and junior faculty members). He collaborated and mentored researchers from many universities, including Columbia, Yale and the University of Michigan. He co-organized 13th International Conference on Management Science and Engineering Management held in August 2019 at Brock university. The Conference led to new international partnerships addressing critical issues in this field in including data engineering, cyber security and data streaming.

He developed the Master of Science and Doctoral Program in Statistics and produced the first PhD student from this program at the University of Regina. He also established the undergraduate co-op program in Statistics and is developing the undergraduate program in Actuarial Science. This program is expected to receive financial support from the public and private sector. This is the first time such a program is being established in Saskatchewan. He founded the under graduate internship program in actuarial science.
