Biography

Beryl Anyango Ang’iro is an assistant lecturer, lecturing applied Statistics at Karatina University, Kenya. She obtained her Master’s degree in Applied Statistics (2015) from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), Kenya. Beryl is currently pursuing her PhD degree in Biostatistics at Hasselt University, Belgium with the title ‘Modeling High Dimensional Multivariate Survival Data with Clustering using Frailty and Copula models’. She teaches both introductory and advanced courses on statistical methodologies and analysis (theory and practice) to students from different faculties.

Beryl is an experienced Lecturer with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. She is a qualified Statistician specialist in biostatistics with extensive background in quality and advanced research. She is killed in advanced statistical techniques and statistical computing languages for data analysis such as R, SAS, Python, STATA and SPSS.
