James Wilson

James Wilson is Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of San Francisco. His research merges computational statistics, random graph theory, and machine learning to analyze complex interacting systems and brain imaging data.

Dr. Wilson develops statistical models for dynamic networks and functional brain connectivity, with applications to Alzheimer's disease research and mental health. His work emphasizes interpretable machine learning techniques that bridge statistical theory with practical applications.

He has received the ENAR Distinguished Student Paper Award and published highly cited research in applied stochastic modeling. His NSF-funded projects focus on spatio-temporal data analysis and network modeling of functional connectivity trajectories.
