Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRussell Almond is an Associate Professor of Measurement & Statistics at Florida State University with deep expertise in Bayesian networks, psychometrics, and the evidence-centered design (ECD) framework he helped develop with Bob Mislevy and Linda Steinberg. He has decades of applied research experience building Bayes-net scoring systems for educational assessments and games, including collaborations on Physics Playground and eRebuild. A Harvard PhD in Statistics and Caltech-trained mathematician, he bridges rigorous theory with practical tooling—authoring R packages and Shiny apps that support ECD and statistical teaching, with his code published openly on GitHub and r-universe. Known for translating complex assessment ideas into usable software (e.g., the StatShop system at ETS), he combines scholarly impact with classroom-facing digital resources; his Erdös number of 3 hints at a well-connected academic pedigree.
