Jonathan Williams teaches statistical inference, research methods, and professional skills in his role of Clinical Professor for the University of Chicago’s M.S. in Applied Data Science program.  Before teaching full-time, he worked for ten years as an economic consultant in financial litigation, authoring expert reports and supporting other experts in their reports and testimony.  He also worked for four years as a data science team lead in a startup firm offering consulting services to state, local, and federal governmental agencies, and studied at two national laboratories as a Department of Homeland Security Scholar.

Jonathan enjoys teaching, tutoring, advising, and mentoring students and professionals of all experience levels.  He dabbles non-professionally in origami, cryptanalysis, and the quest for a perfect pourover coffee, and spends much of his day accompanied by a lazy greyhound.
