Dr. Emil Freeman
(e-mail)

jmp statistics consultant polymer chemical scienceDr. Emil Freeman is an experienced statistician and polymer scientist/engineer. As an internal consultant for a major rubber company he helped many associates solve R&D and quality assurance problems by identifying their root cause. As a statistician in the pharmaceutical industry he analyzed stability studies to predict shelf lives, designed and analyzed studies of biological, chemical and manufacturing processes, and solved problems for quality control statisticians faced with "unusual situations". His independent consulting assignments have covered a wide range: promotional games, tire life studies, agricultural experiments, electronic signals. He is an expert at designing experiments to fit each customer's needs: fractional factorials, composite designs, incomplete block designs, Youden Squares, etc. He is an expert in Multiple Criteria Optimization and analyzing "messy data" (multiple error terms, mixed models, components of variation, regression, ANOVA, ANOCOVA). He is an expert user of JMP software, and was a beta-tester and contract JMP instructor for the SAS Institute.

He has mentored and tutored a wide range of individuals, from children and adolescents with learning disabilities to non-statistician scientists and engineers. He loves to hear the magic words, "This isn't as hard as I thought it would be."

He has published ten peer-reviewed papers and has four US patents. He holds a BS from MIT, a PhD and MA from Princeton University, and an MS from Case Western Reserve University.

Appraisals said, "...recognized and much-sought internal consultant and expert in statistical methods and their application to real problem solving.... Excellent listener and dissector of the key needs/wishes of his customers.... Focuses their work to answer their desired questions, and creates experimental approaches specific to each problem."

EXPERTISE & CAREER SUMMARY:

Quotes from performance appraisals: "…recognized and much-sought internal consultant and expert in statistical methods and their application to real problem solving….Excellent listener and dissector of the key needs/wishes of his customers….Focuses their work to answer their desired questions, and creates experimental approaches specific to each problem." "Emil has internalized the principals of Total Quality Culture".

• Chaired curriculum committee. Developed, wrote and taught many portions of internal statistics courses, including workshop in Multiple Criteria Optimization. Associates consistently said that I made previously difficult concepts easy to understand.

• Reduced measurement variation in production process by a factor of 10. Team leader, Race Tire Advanced Eng. said, "If not for Emil, we would still be [fruitlessly] looking at…."

• Identified root cause of expensive adhesion difficulties.

• Prevented expensive (>$500,000/yr) & unnecessary change in bladder compound.

Extensive experience with wide variety of statistical methods (eg, designed experiments, linear & non-linear regression, assessing measurement systems, sources of variation, Multiple Criteria Optimization, happenstance data, mixed models, ANOVA, ANOCOVA).

Identified root causes of major polymer deficiencies and devised improvements.

Synthesized polymers to meet specific needs. Software development as needed.

"I did it!!!!!! I passed my defense! I wanted to thank you for everything." R. Luster, PhD, Director of Academic Affairs for UOP, Memphis Campus

"If you are beginning any sort of project with a statistical component, you MUST use this service. ... insured that my dissertation statistics were valid, my charts and graphs looked good and told the appropriate story to a broad audience. I was able to present my findings in a scholarly manner and discuss the numbers in comfort and great detail. Once you have benefited from this great assistance, I guarantee that you, too, will see the benefit of working with professional statisticians. Doctoral students, please DO NOT hesitate to confer with them, there is nothing to lose and a doctorate to gain. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!" Dr. Gabrielle

"DONE!!! The after-defense party has been held. That mock defense was incredibly helpful, as at least 2 questions were nearly word-for-word! Your assistance with the talk was also of great benefit, as my advisor said that it was one of the best defense presentations he had ever witnessed!" Ph.D., marine ecology, 2007
