Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Wilson is a statistics and data science researcher and educator with 11 years of experience translating complex social and behavioral questions into rigorous statistical, machine learning, and network-based models. As Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and an associate professor in San Francisco, he studies how social dynamics and network structure relate to mental health and political and economic behavior, often using functional connectivity and social network methods. He brings academic leadership and hands-on consulting experience—from internship work on multi-touch attribution to faculty roles across institutions—to bridge methodological development and real-world decision-making. Trained with a PhD in Statistics from UNC Chapel Hill, he combines deep theoretical grounding with applied insights that reveal subtle, system-level patterns in human behavior.
