Associate Professor of Statistics Brianna Heggeseth (B.A. St. Olaf College, Ph.D. University of California Berkeley) is a statistician at Macalester College. Her primary research interests lie broadly in the study of statistical methods and their application in scientific practice in Team Science collaborations. Recently, she has collaborated with colleagues in social psychology, environmental epidemiology, genetic biology, and health policy. Her statistical methodology work has focused on uncovering group structure and patterns in longitudinal data through clustering analysis techniques, probability models, as well as data mining approaches.
As a teacher, her goal is to empower students to be curious and question the world around them, to construct a convincing argument and make decisions in the midst of uncertainty, tackle and solve difficult problems, and to take ownership of their learning and their life. She tries to design her courses and cultivate classroom dynamics so that every student, no matter their background or identity, can be empowered to succeed and thrive in our world.
A Gertrude Cox scholarship award winner, Brianna pays it forward by working to support other women and underrepresented minorities in Statistics as an educator, as a mentor, and as a leader. She has attended and supported StatFest, the undergraduate conference for underrepresented minorities, and the ENAR Fostering Diversity Workshop. She wants to do more and invites conversations about what educators can do in their classrooms to better foster inclusivity.
