About / Portfolio

My name is Jerzy Wieczorek.
(I’m also civilstat on GitHub and Goodreads.
My email address is my [firstname dot lastname at colby dot edu].)

I am an Associate Professor of Statistics at Colby College, in the Department of Statistics.

I received my PhD in Statistics from the Department of Statistics & Data Science at Carnegie Mellon University in May 2018, advised by Jing Lei. Before that, I was a mathematical statistician with the U.S. Census Bureau, working primarily in small area estimation, Bayesian statistics, and data visualization. I’ve also applied my statistics skillset in transportation engineering, neuroscience, and humanitarian and volunteer work. My other interests include languages and linguistics, education and teaching, etc.

I’m also a proud graduate of the inaugural class of Olin College, and later of Portland State University’s Statistics program.

All opinions expressed on this blog are my own and are not intended to represent those of my employers past or present.

My name is Polish. When I am around English speakers, I pronounce it “JER-zee vyeh-CHOR-ek”: you can listen to a recording here.
