David Banks was the coordinating editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association.^{[citation needed]} He co-founded the journal Statistics and Public Policy and served as its editor.^[3] He co-founded the American Statistical Association’s Section on National Defense and Homeland Security,^{[citation needed]} and has chaired that section, as well as the sections on Risk Analysis and on Statistical Learning and Data Mining.^{[citation needed]} He has published 91 refereed articles, edited nine books, and written four monographs.^[1] He is a former editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association; a founding editor of the journal Statistics, Politics and Policy; and a co-editor of the monograph Statistical Methods for Human Rights.^{[citation needed]} He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Royal Statistical Society.^{[citation needed]} He has been a member of the board of directors of the American Statistical Association, and he is a past-President of the Classification Society.^{[citation needed]} He has taught at the University of Cambridge and at Carnegie Mellon University; he was also Chief Statistician of the U.S. Department of Transportation.^{[citation needed]} Additionally, he has served on six National Academies panels.^{[citation needed]}

His research areas include models for dynamic networks, dynamic text networks, adversarial risk analysis (i.e., Bayesian behavioral game theory), human rights statistics, agent-based models, forensics, and certain topics in high-dimensional data analysis.^{[citation needed]}

Banks is currently Professor of the Practice of Statistics at Duke University. In addition, Banks is in charge of the Modeling in the Economic and Social Sciences Focus Cluster, part of Duke's Freshman FOCUS Program.^{[citation needed]} In 2015, Banks was recipient of the American Statistical Association's Founders Award.^[4]
