Summary
Dylan Murphy is a quantitative scientist and Bayesian data analyst with a decade of experience applying probabilistic modeling to real-world problems, currently driving predictive analytics and R&D for the Tampa Bay Rays. He combines a Ph.D. in Mathematics—grounded in mathematical physics and the Toda hierarchy—with hands-on expertise building models in R, Stan, brms, and PyMC to help a baseball team win more games. Previously a lecturer at the University of Arizona School of Information, he taught Bayesian statistics and machine learning while contributing to NEH-supported OCR research for Arabic and Pashto/Dari through image preprocessing and novel RNN cell work in Keras. Comfortable bridging deep theory and production modeling, he brings a rare mix of advanced mathematics, teaching experience, and applied ML for high-impact, domain-specific decision making.
