My research interests span across the fields of philosophy, science, economics, leadership, and management. I am particularly intrigued by the application of philosophy to real-world scenarios and the derivation of philosophical principles from empirical observations. My principal research focus is on how philosophy supplements the understanding of the natural and social sciences, which one derives from scientific work itself.1 This includes the discipline of statistics.2

2. 2. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses “one of many possible definitions of STEM,” university disciplines in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. BLS defines “Statistician” as a STEM occupation, from the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) manual, code 15-2041. The economist occupation, SOC 19-3010, is not listed as a STEM occupation but as a social science occupation. Depending on course requirements, some universities consider their economics major to be a STEM discipline.
