Cavell Brownie (née Sherlock) is a Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the North Carolina State University. Her research considered biometric methods and wildlife sampling.
Education and career
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]

Recognition
Brownie was awarded the George W. Snedecor award in 1983 and 1990, and the North Carolina State University D.D. Mason Faculty Award in 1988.[7]
She was elected a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2003. The Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University award an annual Cavell Brownie Mentoring Faculty prize in her honor.[5]
