Raghu Kacker

Raghu Kacker is a mathematical statistician in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division (MCSD) of the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He received his Ph.D. in statistics from the Iowa State University in 1979. After one year on the faculty of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, he worked for seven years in the former AT&T Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. He joined NIST in 1987. His current interests include evaluation of uncertainty in physical and virtual measurements, quantification of uncertainty from bias, combining information from interlaboratory evaluations and multiple methods of measurement, meta-analysis of clinical trials, measurement equations, Bayesian uncertainty, linear models and variance components, industrial statistics, quality engineering, and Taguchi methods. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and a Fellow of the American Society for Quality. He was elected member of the International Statistical Institute. He has received Bronze medal from the U.S. Department of Commerce and Distinguished Technical Staff Award from the AT&T Bell Laboratories.
