Bio
Mytoan Nguyen-Akbar
Alex was my Grader and a guest lecturer on survey methods in my Fall 2014 course, Methods of Sociological Inquiry. Alex is brilliant, fun to work with, and can do amazing things with statistical software packages (data in general) and excel. Students really enjoyed learning about Alex's research on Egypt and protest movements in Tahir Square. I cannot say enough good things about Alex and anyone who works with Alex will certainly be impressed by Alex's breadth of knowledge.
