I have presented talks on statistics and data science at conferences, universities, non-profit organizations, and private companies for both academic and business audiences around the world. I am comfortable presenting for beginner, intermediate, or advanced audiences.
In addition to my presentations, I also taught almost 100 students in two sections of an upper level data science course at USC [syllabus].
If you’d like me to present a talk or tutorial for your organization, feel free to email me at gregory.faletto@marshall.usc.edu.
