Ben Markwart's Website!

Hi, this is my webpage. I am a Data Scientist at the University of Arizona's College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences! (ALVSCE)

I joined the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (ALVSCE) in the summer of 2022. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Arizona and a graduate degree in Political Economy from the University of Pittsburgh. During my graduate studies, I focused on advanced quantitative research methodologies, decision-making theory, game theory, and institutional and organizational theory. Currently, my work involves developing analyses and tools to support data-driven decision-making for the ALVSCE Executive Team and the business and academic units within CALES.
