Prior to joining CSUF, she taught statistics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Jaynes is a first-generation college graduate and received her bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Cal State Fullerton and her Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her primary research interests include statistical methods and applications, experimental design, and discrete choice experiments. Her recent projects include, the development of a new class of designs that provide higher efficiency, more in-depth analyses, and require a shorter time to run; applications of fractional factorial designs for Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 and lipid accumulation for algae growth. Most recently, she has worked on the design of a discrete choice experiment for health care studies.
