Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Lewis is a Sociology PhD candidate and LEAP Investigator with 12 years of applied research experience bridging industrial/organizational psychology and sociology to study resilience, reintegration of justice-impacted individuals, and recidivism. He has led and supported mixed-methods projects from scale development to qualitative interviewing and large-scale participant management, including sensitive studies on sexual violence and marginalized student trauma. Alex combines rigorous quantitative skills (data cleaning, SPSS, JavaPathfinder) with hands-on qualitative methods and team leadership, having trained and supervised undergraduate research assistants and managed longitudinal cohorts. His work informs evidence-based interventions for reentry and substance use practices, honed further through JCOIN’s LEAP training. Outside academia he experiments with web projects like bannedwords.fun, reflecting a practical curiosity for building tools alongside research. Based in Orlando, he brings a systems-level perspective—linking individual behavior to institutional and policy implications—to pragmatic solutions for reintegration challenges.
