George G. Vega Yon

Ph.D., Statistical Computing
Complex Systems

I am an Assistant Professor of Research at the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Utah. I work on studying Complex Systems using Statistical Computing. I have over ten years of experience developing scientific software focusing on high-performance computing, data visualization, and social network analysis. My training is in Public Policy (M.A. UAI, 2011), Economics (M.Sc. Caltech, 2015), and Biostatistics (Ph.D. USC, 2020).

I obtained my Ph.D. in Biostatistics under the supervision of Prof. Paul Marjoram and Prof. Kayla de la Haye, with my dissertation titled "Essays on Bioinformatics and Social Network Analysis: Statistical and Computational Methods for Complex Systems."

I'm available for coding, data science, network science, and data visualization consulting.
