Mathematician · Statistician · Teacher

I teach mathematics and statistics at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and direct the Math Assistance Center. My work centers on Bayesian methods, publication bias, and building usable, reproducible course materials for students and instructors.

This site is a hub for teaching, research, and applied mathematical work.

Explore

Teaching

Current courses, public course sites, and the Math Assistance Center. Concepts first, with reproducible workflows in R and LaTeX.

Research

Bias-robust Bayesian evidence synthesis, publication bias, and reproducible statistical workflows in applied literatures.

Featured course sites

Public, durable resource sites for two of my current courses. Roster- and section-specific material lives in the LMS, not here.

$Course identity hero for Intro to Mathematical Software — a blue-violet crystal cluster surrounded by mathematical software, workflow, simulation, and version-control graphics, with the course title.$

Intro to Mathematical Software — LaTeX, R, Quarto, reproducible workflow, and careful AI-assisted work.

Intro to Statistics — data, evidence, models, uncertainty, and simulation.
