Dave Doehlert
Dave has been consulting on design of experiments since 1954 and conducting
training courses on how to plan experiments since 1975. Early users of his
training were the Monsanto Company, Sandia National Laboratory, Corning, Inc., BP
America, and Phillips Petroleum. About 5,000 people have learned experiment
strategies from Dave.
From 1956 to 1971 Dave was an in-house consultant at duPont designing
experiments and doing statistical analyses of data. Uniform shell designs and balanced
sets of balanced incomplete block designs are his published contributions to
the field. In 1990, Dave worked with Ron Hardin and Neil Sloane of AT&T Bell
Labs to develop the Hardin-Sloane designs. These designs require fewer runs than
standard designs.
In the 1950s Dave worked as a mechanical engineer for the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company. His work resulted in several patents for articulated molds used in
bending automobile windshields. He also has a patent for cleaning coal.
Dave has a masters degree in statistics from the University of Delaware, a
masters degree in education from Temple University, and a bachelors degree in
physics from Swarthmore College. He lives in Anacortes, WA.
