Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCory Brunson is a mathematician-turned-data scientist and Research Assistant Professor specializing in health informatics, network analysis, ordination, and applied topology, primarily using R. With 11 years of experience spanning academia and applied research at institutions like University of Florida and UConn Health, he blends deep theoretical training (PhD in Mathematics) with practical data-driven investigations of real-world networks. His work leverages graph-theoretic and discrete homological tools to reveal structural patterns linked to behavior and communities, and he has a track record of translating abstract geometry and combinatorics into actionable analytic methods. Comfortable teaching and communicating complex ideas—having led courses and founded an undergraduate modeling seminar—he also values cross-disciplinary collaboration and direct outreach to peers. Unobvious for a mathematician, he’s spent time delivering coffee by bicycle, reflecting a grounded curiosity and commitment to community engagement.
