Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Mcknight is an associate professor and quantitative methodologist with 14 years of faculty experience and a long track record of improving measurement across medicine, psychology, and education. He specializes in clarifying poorly conceptualized constructs and developing robust measurement and analytic solutions—ranging from psychometrics and instrument calibration to handling missing data and method variance. His collaborative work spans low vision and rehabilitation to substance abuse, cardiology, and physician training, reflecting a rare blend of applied domain expertise and methodological rigor. A founding member of MRES at George Mason and long-time contributor to the University of Arizona’s EGAD, he routinely partners with researchers to translate complex scientific questions into defensible study designs and instruments. Outside academia he balances roles as partner, father, and adventurer, bringing a practical, human perspective to quantitative problems.
