Biography

Dr. Pierre Goovaerts studied at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) and at Stanford University, where he wrote the textbook entitled Geostatistics for Natural Resources Evaluation published by Oxford University Press in 1997. After five years on the Faculty at the University of Michigan, he became in 2002 Chief Scientist for the R&D Company, Biomedware, Inc, and he created his own consulting company, PGeostat, LLC. Dr. Goovaerts has authored more than 100 refereed papers in the field of theoretical and applied geostatistics, and he is a reviewer for 50 international journals. He has taught numerous short courses in the US, which were attended by academics, consultants and federal employees. He acts as a consultant for the Environmental Protection Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and he is bringing his expertise to numerous projects dealing with the characterization of air, soil and water pollution and its impact on human health. Most recently, Dr. Goovaerts has been appointed a Courtesy Associate Professor at the University of Florida, Soil and Water Science Department.
