The Biostatistics Department is happy to present Journey Lectures, which are light-hearted, non-technical talks by distinguished Biostatistics faculty describing their career paths.
Join us on Friday, April 17 to learn about the journey taken to Michigan Biostatistics by Tim Johnson, PhD. 
Discover how Tim's journey in biostatistics began in California, where he studied mathematics at UC Riverside, worked as a software engineer, and later earned his PhD in Biostatistics at UCLA. Learn how those early years — spanning mathematics, computing, and collaborative research in radiological sciences and biomathematics — helped shape a career devoted to Bayesian methods, statistical image analysis, spatial modeling, and biomedical data science. Hear how that path eventually brought him to Michigan Biostatistics, where his work has continued to bridge statistical innovation, interdisciplinary research, and a deep commitment to mentoring and academic leadership.
The lecture will begin at 2:00 pm in 1690 SPH I.
Refreshments will be served from 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm in the adjoining 1680 SPH I prior to the start of the presentation.
Please arrive early enough to help yourself to refreshments and to find your seat.
