After graduating in 1978 with a B.S. in Statistics he worked for the College of Medicine performing statistical analysis for various researchers.

In 1980 he met Dr. Fred Cornhill. Dr. Cornhill's research interest was cardiovascular disease. Ed worked with Dr. Cornhill for 20 years on various cardiovascular projects, the largest of which was the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) project. 

This 12 year program was a large, multi-center project involving the analysis of over 30,000 cardiovascular images. Dr. Cornhill was the head of the morphometric central laboratory for the PDAY project.

Ed selected the hardware and wrote all the software for the analysis performed by the morphometry central laboratory. This project started before there were PC's, the Internet, video cards, or Microsoft.

After the end of the PDAY project, Ed continued to work with various researchers around the country. Among these researchers were Dr. Cynthia Roberts, a world expert in Ophthalmic research, Dr. Donald Fry, a leading researcher in the development of atherosclerosis and Dr. Pascal Goldschmidt, a leading researcher in the genetic origins of cardiovascular disease.

After 30 years of work at The Ohio State University, Ed decided to retire in order to pursue a couple of long time interests. These include continued collaboration with Dr. Goldschmidt, continued work on statistical analysis of pharmacological data and the teaching of science to kids as well as any interesting project which may come along.

eehscience, LLC was formed so that Ed could pursue these interests.

The report card for scientists is publication in peer-reviewed journals. This pdf contains Ed's NIH biographical sketch, The NIH biographical sketch is a common document used when applying for government grants and gives a concise summary of a scientists work.
