Biography

Mark Berman is a mathematical statistician, who was with CSIRO Digital Productivity (DP), and its forerunners, between 1979 and 2014. Prior to joining CSIRO, he was a visiting lecturer in the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley (1978-1979). He spent 1988 at the Melbourne Research Laboratories of Broken Hill Proprietary Ltd., where he established the Image Processing and Data Analysis Group. From 1989 to 2000, he founded and led CSIRO's Image Analysis Group. He has given courses on spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging in the Department of Informatics and Mathematical Modelling, Technical University of Denmark (2007) and in the Department of Statistics, Stanford University (2008 and 2014). He was an Associate Editor of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (2001-2006) and an Associate Editor of Environmentrics (2010-2015).
