Rob Trangucci
Rob is an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Statistics at Oregon State University. He received his PhD in Statistics from the University of Michigan in 2023. His current research focuses on developing novel Bayesian statistical methodology for problems in epidemiology, and creating tools to understand how modeling assumptions impact inference. He has also done research in survey methodology. He got his Master’s in Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences from Columbia University and his BA in Physics from Bucknell University.
