About Guillermo

Dr. Guillermo Basulto-Elias is a research scientist at the Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University. He has experience in statistical computing, data visualization, generalized linear mixed effects models, nonparametric statistics, machine learning, and stochastic processes.

In recent years, he has worked on nonparametric models of data with measurement error and forensic statistics, which include footwear analysis, models for speaker recognition, and design and supervision of shoe prints forensic database. More recently, he has worked on software development for generating reports of crashes, and statistical models for traffic data, including linear mixed effects models, hierarchical Bayesian models, and functional data analysis.
