Biography
University of Georgia - Mathematics
Senior Healthcare Economics Data Analyst at WellMed Medical Management
Nathaniel
Zbacnik
San Antonio, Texas
I am a self-driven, analytically-oriented individual that uses the full range of data analysis tools daily to make a positive impact in the healthcare industry. I have experience applying mathematical techniques and rigor to solve problems in both industrial and academic settings. I bring a wide variety of programming/analytics tools such as Python, Tableau, Excel, and SQL to produce important insights into different problems, as well as statistical rigor to assess the validity of those insights.
As a healthcare economics data analyst, I write efficient queries to gather the data I need, analyze this data, discussing trends with leadership, and both prepare reports and give presentations on my findings. When I am not collaborating directly
with others, I am working independently. I am experienced in setting my schedule and deadlines in my work,but I enjoy being a part of a team as I contribute to a greater vision.
I have several ongoing personal projects that I am passionate about. I have developed a college football model that I am continually tweaking and upgrading. I also have an ongoing relationship with a biopharmeceutical company wherein we apply advanced mathematical and statistical regression techniques to research protein aggregation. We recently had a paper published in the Journal of Pharmeceutical Sciences to appear in their January 2020 issue on a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Teacher's Assistant
I coordinated instruction with a professor to co-lead a senior level topics course in Hurwitz Theory. I ran a weekly class session where we discussed the material and put together material and questions to discuss with the professor. The notes and feedback which I prepared contributed to a draft of a textbook on the topic.University of Georgia - Franklin College of Arts and Sciences

A Chemometric Approach Toward Predicting the Relative Aggregation Propensity: Aβ(1-42)
Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
In this study, a chemometric approach using reduced amino acid properties is used to examine the aggregation behavior of a highly amyloidogenic peptide, Aβ(1-42). Specific residues are identified as being critical to the aggregation process. At each of these positions, the important physicochemical properties are identified that would either accelerate or inhibit fibril formation.
