Rate My Professor Austin Brown

Brown's research focuses on process improvement through nonparametric statistical process control, control charts, Bayesian quality control, mixture distributions, and statistical software such as SAS and R, with additional interests in statistics in sports and academic persistence in higher education. He leads the Annual Recidivism Report for the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice, supported by a $62,000 grant, which analyzes recidivism patterns, evaluates intervention programs, and informs policy through presentations to the Georgia General Assembly. As co-principal investigator on an NIH-funded study, he conducts statistical analysis for research on walking's role in combating obesity, developing predictive models for personalized step goals. Key publications include 'An Evaluation of College Students’ Perceptions of Statisticians' (2022, with Taasoobshirazi, Wagner, and Copeland), 'Motivation and Postsecondary Enrollment Among High School Students Whose Parents Did Not Go to College' (2022, with Tsai, Lehrman, and Tian), 'The Effect of a Repeat Septic Shock Simulation on the Knowledge and Skill Performance of Undergraduate Nursing Students' (2021, with Maguire), and 'Situational Awareness in Acute Patient Deterioration: Identifying Student Time to Task.' Awards include the UNC College of Education and Behavioral Sciences Graduate Scholar (2019), Western Users of SAS Software 2018 Student Scholarship, and Hutchinson-Lahman Research Excellence Award (2018). His contributions extend to dissertation committees and graduate student training in real-world data analysis.
