School of Computing & Mathematics

Ken Russell is Professor of Mathematical Science in the School of Computing and Mathematics at Charles Sturt University.  He joined CSU in 2011 after many years at the University of Wollongong, where he was Director of the Statistical Consulting Service for most of the time.  He taught many mainstream and service Statistics subjects in that time, and holds several teaching awards, including an ALTC Citation for outstanding contributions to student learning. His research specialty is Experimental Design.
