Dr Philip Rayment is a statistician with research and
professional interests in the application of statistics to fields such
as environmental management, of relevance to the Gippsland region. He
completed a PhD in statistics at The University of Melbourne in 1972,
having also taught into the statistics program there across second, third
and fourth year levels. He has worked in the School of Applied Sciences
and Engineering at the Gippsland campus of Monash University (and its
predecessor institution) since 1972, and was a visiting senior lecturer
at the UK Open University in 1976-1977. He was promoted to associate professor
in 1991, and has contributed widely to the development of mathematics,
statistics and (earlier) computing programs and units offered from the
Gippsland campus, both nationally and internationally.
Teaching Commitments
Dr Rayment's teaching areas and interests over some thirty-five years
have ranged widely across mathematics and statistics, both as science
major studies and as inter-faculty 'service' offerings for students of
business, computing, engineering and the social sciences including international
and postgraduate students. He has developed an extensive range of off-campus
learning materials in line with Monash's objective to increase flexibility
in delivery of its programs.
Phil is the unit advisor for the following units:
Research Interests
In line with Dr Rayment's view of the role of an interdisciplinary school
in a regional setting, his research and associated professional activities
have focussed on statistics applied to problems in local scientific settings
and to analysis of environmental studies data. This work has been in conjunction
with other staff and postgraduate students of the School of Applied Sciences
and Engineering and with scientists in such organisations as Gippsland
Water, Envirogen, Water ECOscience, etc.

Grants
Dr Rayment's most recent successful grant application, in association
with Dr Cristina Varsavsky (School of Mathematical Sciences, Clayton campus)
and Dr Alistair Carr (School of Applied Sciences and Engineering), has
been to the Monash Strategic Innovations Fund for a project to develop
an innovative Graduate Certificate in Mathematics Studies to equip secondary
teachers to teach mathematics in the twenty-first century classroom..
