Data Science Institute

Dr. Jamie Trost is a lecturer of statistics whose roots lie in cognitive psychology. While pursuing her doctoral degree studying attention and perception at the University of Notre Dame, Jamie became heavily interested in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), particularly in regard to teaching quantitative statistics and methodologies. At Brown, Jamie leads courses in statistics at both undergraduate and graduate levels and will serve as a statistical consultant to graduate students in the CoPsy department. 

How does your research, teaching, or other work relate to data or computational science?

In teaching introductory and upper-level statistics at both undergraduate and graduate levels, I incorporate data science education regularly into my courses.  I serve as a consultant within the CoPsy department, tasked with connecting graduate students and upper-level RAs with resources and strategies surrounding analytics, theory, and computation.
