Dr. Ben Baumer

Dr. Ben Baumer is the Director of the Statistical & Data Sciences Program at Smith College, and an Assistant Professor in the Program in Statistical & Data Program. He is a data scientist — his research and teaching is focused on extracting meaning from data.

Having extensive experience and training in mathematics, computer science, and statistics, Ben enjoys the interplay between these three fields, particularly in data science and network science. Ben is also knowledgeable about sabermetrics, sports analytics, applied statistics, statistical modeling, analysis of algorithms, combinatorial optimization, data visualization, graph theory, and combinatorics.
