Top SchoolJeffrey Girard is an associate professor of psychology who blends clinical science, computational methods, and social psychology to study how emotions and interpersonal communication manifest in verbal and nonverbal behavior. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology and postdoctoral training at Carnegie Mellon in machine learning and verbal behavior, he runs the Affective Communication and Computing lab and directs the Brain, Behavior, and Quantitative Science program at the University of Kansas. He translates interdisciplinary research into practice through teaching intensive data science bootcamps, running Girard Consulting LLC, and co-founding SMaRT Workshops to train researchers and practitioners in applied ML and statistics.
