Summary
Jonathan Zadra is a biostatistician and data scientist with nine years of applied experience translating experimental design and advanced quantitative methods into actionable insights across social impact, public health, and academic research. He has led data science teams at Sorenson Impact and consulted at Integral, and now applies rigorous statistical coordination at the University of Utah Data Coordinating Center. Trained as a cognitive scientist (PhD, UVA) with postdoctoral work in Australia, his research blends visual perception, bioenergetics, and brain–computer interface applications—skills he has taught at the graduate level. Jonathan’s background spans both high-stakes field service (trauma EMT and volunteer search & rescue) and hands-on technical development, giving him a rare combination of operational calm and analytic precision. He is skilled in communicating complex methods through visualizations and has a track record of using data to drive social-good programs in criminal justice, education, and homelessness. Based in Salt Lake City, he brings interdisciplinary rigor and practical leadership to biostatistics and data-driven policy work.
