Abby Loe ’21 has joined Macalester College to teach mathematics, statistics, and computer science in a tenure-track faculty position.
Professor Loe is a biostatistician whose theoretical research sits at the intersection of survival analysis, repeated measures, and statistical machine learning. She has several applied projects in pulmonary medicine and microbiology, researching treatments and the disease mechanisms for pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Loe will teach Intro to Statistical Modeling and Statistical Theory this year. In future years, she hopes to teach upper level survival analysis and develop a course in the history of statistics. She grew up in Apple Valley, Minnesota, and completed a PhD and MS in biostatistics at the University of Michigan, and a BA in mathematics from Carleton College.
