Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Lamias is an applied and theoretical statistician, survey methodologist, and founder-CEO who has spent over a decade turning complex public health, federal, and commercial data problems into actionable decisions through statistical consulting and data science. As president of The Stochastic Group and a technical lead on CDC/Leidos engagements, he architects end-to-end analytic pipelines, blends survey sampling with ML-driven causal inference, and deploys forecasting and automation solutions across Azure, Databricks, R, and Python. His specialty is rigorous work with complex sample surveys, multi-stage sampling, mixed-effects models, and real-world evidence where he often combines propensity modeling and boosted trees to assess interventions. He pairs deep academic training from Michigan, Iowa State, Emory, and Johns Hopkins with practical engineering—building R web crawlers, R/Python packages, and automated reporting systems—for clients ranging from hospitals to defense and fintech startups. Known for making intricate statistical concepts accessible to non-technical audiences, he also brings the uncommon mix of political science background and hands-on survey methodology to inform policy-relevant analyses.
