David Stern

David's interests in mathematics are very broad, including statistics and computing. He previously worked as a computer programmer in the UK, in software development. He has been particularly active in mathematics education at all levels and is excited by the opportunities for it to impact African development, given the growing access to technology. In statistics David implemented an e-learning MSc program in Research Methods in Kenya and is currently vice president of the International Association for Statistical Education. Climate variability and change is also of major interest to David and he has established and managed a number of climatic related projects in Kenya and Ghana. His major contribution in projects has been to bridge the gap between the local institutions and international research.
