Bio

Hyeri Hong, Ph.D.

With research interests in structural equation modeling, Bayesian statistics, network analysis, and generalizability theory, I am collaborating with scholars on a variety of equity-driven projects, including "empowering Latinx parents of children with disabilities," "evaluating the impact of Steve’s Scholars program on underrepresented students," "assessing self-efficacy and well-being of first-generation college students," "examining the impact of extracurricular activities on maltreated teens," and "promoting equity in statistics education," etc.  In addition to serving as an external evaluator for the Project Access grant, I have secured around $115,000 in internal and external funding as a principal investigator or co-principal investigator for a number of applied research projects. I have presented over 60 research projects at national and local conferences and have published 22 articles in prestigious peer-reviewed journals. Bringing expertise in education as a former high school teacher, I am committed to making a positive impact on the advancement and progress of high-quality, equity-focused educational research and teaching.
