David Kojo Amakye

Graduate Assistant, Statistics & Data Science

I’m interested in turning ideas into things that can be built, tested, understood, and reused. My work sits at the intersection of statistical methodology, computational data science, and applied research. I use statistics and programming to explore real-world problems, develop reproducible methods and software, and share what I learn through teaching, research, and technical projects.
At the heart of my work is a simple goal: take a good idea, make it useful, make it reproducible, and make it understandable to someone else.

Phd Candidate (Statistics) | Taft Dissertation Fellow , Statistics & Data Science

Fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in Statistics with a focus on high-dimensional and Bayesian modeling. My research centers on developing scalable and robust variable selection methods for generalized linear models, particularly in biomedical and public health applications. I am especially interested in building interpretable models for complex, high-dimensional datasets, integrating Bayesian sparsity learning and a joint modeling framework. My dissertation focuses on developing computationally efficient and robust methods for variable selection in high-dimensional binary regression, with attention to challenges like model misspecification and missing data.
