Cavell Brownie (née Sherlock) is a Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the North Carolina State University. Her research considered biometric methods and wildlife sampling.
Brownie is African-American,[1] and was born in Jamaica.[2] She earned her doctoral degree at Cornell University in 1973, developing mathematical models to estimate bird populations.[3] Her dissertation, Stochastic Models Allowing Age-Dependent Survival Rates for Banding Experiments on Exploited Bird Populations, was supervised by D. S. Robson.[4]
Brownie was a faculty member at North Carolina State University from 1982 to 2007.[5]
