Dr. Shane Clark is earned his PhD from the University of Kentucky for his research on the intersection of Fixed Point Theory and Algebraic Topology in 2020. After which, he joined the United States Military Academy as an Assistant Professor from 2020-23. During this time, his research evolved to include machine learning and data driven problems through research on Sports Analytics, Nutrition Science, and Material Sciences (joint with the Army Research Lab). Dr. Clark's passion for mathematics is best demonstrated in the classroom where he uses modern and inclusive techiniques to create a healthy learning environment for all students. Dr. Clark extends his impact outside of the classroom by maintaining active service roles for outreac, specifically in the STEM fields. He ran the West Point Chapter of Big Brother Big Sister and has served in multiple outreach programs aimed at increasing representation of minority students in STEM fields.

Research Currently in Progess
Clark, S., Thomas, D., Dhurandhar, N., & Baller, D.(n.d.). The Role of Beff on Health: A Meta-Analysis. In Progress.
In statistics, we estimate the effect of some treatment on a population through an experiment or simulation. There are many sources of error that could obfuscate the true treatment effect like selection bias, publication bias, or self reporting error. A meta- analysis looks at a collection of analysis’ on a central treatment in an attempt to find a more accurate estimate of the true treatment effect. In this project we conducted a meta-analysis on the role of unprocessed red meat in obesity and associated factors. This project was joint with Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar (Texas Tech), Dr. Diana Thomas (USMA), and research scientists at their respective institutions.
