Meet Stephen Lewis
We’re excited to unveil our latest series, which we introduce one of our newest members. This month, we welcome Stephen Lewis, who answered the following questions so we could get to know him better:
How did you become interested in statistics and/or data science?
I became interested in statistics through basketball. Through years of following the game closely, I became intrigued with the impact stats have on the game and teams’ decision-making. I have seen many stats that are very useful and insightful but also many that are misleading. I always excelled at math but didn’t want to pursue a math degree in college. When I learned about statistics, I immediately knew it was what I wanted to pursue.
What do you consider your dream job?
A basketball statistician for an NBA team.
What do you hope understanding statistics and/or data science helps you accomplish?
I hope to get involved in basketball analytics, which is something that is very competitive to get into. I believe there will never be perfect stats in sports, as many things are hard to quantify, but there is always room to get better. I feel there is a lot I can contribute.
Is there a particular group of statisticians you would like to reach out to you?
I would like to connect with statisticians in the field of sports (mainly basketball).
What is your favorite hobby?
Playing and watching sports—mainly basketball, but also football. I also enjoy running.
What is something you would like people to know about you that we haven’t asked?
I am currently a junior at the University of Delaware and am pursuing my master’s degree with my school’s 4 + 1 program.
