Introduction

    Dennis Leber joined the Statistical Engineering Division at NIST in January 2001. He received his M.S. degree in statistics from Rutgers University in October 1999 and a B.S. degree in mathematics from Bloomsburg University in May 1997. Dennis is currently continuing to strengthen his statistical background and knowledge through graduate coursework at George Washington University. Prior to joining the Statistical Engineering Department, Dennis spent 5 years in the Actuarial Research Department of Prudential Property and Casualty Insurance Company in Holmdel, NJ.

Ongoing Projects

    In addition to his work in the Statistical Engineering Division, Dennis spends half of his time in the Economic Assessment Office of NIST's Advanced Technology Program providing statistical and database support.

    Some current and recent projects that Dennis has worked on include:

    • HUD Healthy Homes Initiative: Sampling Plan for BFRL's CONTAM Software for Outdoor-Indoor Ventilation Rates.
    • Design and analysis of experiment to consider the effect of PAC tub cooling on thermal-expansion-induced lathe deformation.
    • Evaluation and formulation of efficiency ratings for a Plug Power Residential Fuel Cell across various environmental, thermal, and electrical load conditions through experimental design and analysis.
    • Assessment of the capabilitiies of ultra-wide band signal reflection to detect moisture content in building materials through experimental design and analysis.
    • Applying designed experiments to the NIJ investigation of body armor failure to lead to the enhancements of the NIJ body armor certification procedures and standards.
