A very important announcement! Teague will start as a tenure-track assistant professor joint in Quantitative Psychology and the School of Data Science, starting May 2021! His lab will focus on developing new methods for analyzing human-generated complex network and dynamical systems data, with particular interests in applying control theory to psychological data and studying the computational properties of biologically plausible neural networks.
2020
Teague is looking forward to starting as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pittsburgh, starting June 2020! He will work with Dr. Brooke Molina and Dr. Cecile Ladouceur in the Department of Psychiatry as part of the Innovative Methods in Pathogenesis and Child Treatment (IMPACT) T32 program, funded by NIMH.

At this year’s Flux Congress in New York, Teague presented some cool functional connectivity findings from his work with Dr. Jessica Cohen: Localizing differences in functional integration in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Teague enjoyed attending and giving a talk at the International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS), this year in Santiago, Chile. His talk discussed: The impact of endogenity on network psychometric models.
2018
Now released! A new R package for network analysis. Netjack is a open source R package for implementing the network statistic jackknife and related methods. Although this package is primarily geared towards neuroimaging applications, netjack is an easy to use, highly extendable framework suitable for rapid analysis of any relevant large dataset of networks. Check it out at: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/netjack/index.html
