Current Appointments:

  • NCRAR Biostatistician
  • Clinical Assistant Professor, Dept. of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University
  • Adjunct Assistant Professor, Dept. of Anthropology, University of New Mexico

Research Interests:

As staff biostatistician with the NCRAR, Dr. McMillan has developed statistical learning methods for ototoxicity monitoring and semi-parametric, angular regression models for sound localization studies. His research interests also include Bayesian inference; computational methods and SAS programming; observational data analysis; and covariance structure models for linear mixed models.
