Sellers is the author of the reference, The Conway-Maxwell Poisson Distribution (Cambridge University Press, 2023), the first compilation describing the distribution theory and statistical methods developed to provide flexible alternatives to Poisson modeling via the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution, including regression analysis, control chart theory, spatio-temporal models, and cure-rate models. She has been recognized as an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute, a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and an American Women in Mathematics Fellow. Sellers has held previous faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Georgetown University.
