Early life and education edit
Bowman grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[1][2] He has said that he became interested in mathematics at a young age, and his teachers encouraged him academically.[3] He earned his undergraduate degree at Morehouse College, where he majored in mathematics but also completed the pre-med requirements.[1] He graduated magna cum laude in 1992 and was appointed to the Phi Beta Kappa honour society.[4] During a conversation with Bill Jenkins, Bowman became excited by the possibility of a career that combined his interest in quantitative analysis with public health.[1] He briefly joined the mathematical statistics program at Duke University before realising that he wanted to focus on biostatistics.[1] He eventually moved to the University of Michigan to specialise in biostatistics, where he completed coursework in epidemiology and earned a master's degree in 1995.[1] Whilst a graduate student Bowman taught trigonometry at the Washtenaw Community College. Bowman joined the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he worked toward a doctorate with Pranab K. Sen.[5]
Research and career edit
In 2000 Bowman joined Emory University as an assistant professor at the Rollins School of Public Health. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2006 and Professor in 2013. In 2007 Bowman founded the Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics.[6] The field of neuroimaging was only just emerging whilst he was on the faculty at Emory, and psychiatrists realised that they would need a good grasp of statistics to make best of use of it.[1]
In 2014 Bowman moved to the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health[7] where he was made Cynthia and Robert Citrone–Roslyn and Leslie Goldstein Professor.[8][9] Here his work considered biostatistical approaches to better understand brain imaging data. Cynthia and Robert Citrone decided to fund the chair position after meeting Bowman and hearing about the impact of his research.[8] In his time at Columbia University he considerably expanded the department education programmes in biostatistics as well as increasing the neuroimaging grant revenue. Here he served as a member of the Columbia University Data Science Institute.[10]
Bowman was appointed Dean of the University of Michigan School of Public Health in 2018.[11][12] His work looks to understand the environmental origins of neurological conditions, with a particular focus on early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.[5]
