Jessica Jaynes

Jessica Jaynes is an Associate Professor of Statistics and Mathematics at California State University, Fullerton. As a first-generation college graduate, she holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on statistical methods and applications, experimental design, and survey design, with a strong emphasis on collaborative projects with undergraduate students.

Dr. Jaynes earned her Ph.D. in Statistics from UCLA, reflecting her deep academic roots in quantitative methodologies. Her work bridges statistical theory and practical applications, particularly in healthcare and public health contexts, such as drug combination experiments and discrete choice analyses in nutrition studies.

Her research trends highlight innovative uses of experimental design techniques, including orthogonal array composite designs and fractional factorial designs, applied to diverse fields like tuberculosis drug studies, snack choice behaviors, and healthcare policy. These methods emphasize efficiency and robustness in data collection and analysis.

She actively engages undergraduate students in research, fostering hands-on learning opportunities. While no specific grants or awards are documented here, her contributions to pedagogical methods in statistics education are evident through publications on course design and online learning assessments.

Jessica Jaynes’ academic presence is further enriched by her interdisciplinary approach, blending statistical rigor with real-world health and behavioral challenges.
