From the start of her career, Prof. Marien Graham focused on developing new statistical techniques, specifically in the research area of statistical quality / process control. In the last few years, she has deepened that focus to generate a more detailed understanding of how learning and assessment opportunities for students at all levels of the formal education system (early learning, primary, secondary and tertiary) and their overall mental health and well-being can be improved. She uses sophisticated, novel statistical techniques to inform that understanding. She is a Full Professor at the University of Pretoria and has contributed to many fields, including education, healthcare, social issues, and agroforestry. She holds a doctoral degree in mathematical statistics from the University of Pretoria and is a Y1-rated researcher with the National Research Foundation (NRF), South Africa. Prof Graham is a co-author of the John Wiley & Sons book Nonparametric Statistical Process Control (2019) and also serves on the editorial advisory board of Scientific Studies and Research, Series Mathematics and Informatics. She has published over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals and regularly presents her findings at national and international conferences.
