Mario Stipčić

Mario Stipčić began his academic teaching career at the University of Zagreb in Croatia, where he also earned his Ph.D. in harmonic analysis, with a dissertation titled "Multilinear singular integrals associated with hypergraphs." He then joined the Grand Challenges Initiative at Chapman University as a Postdoctoral Fellow, teaching project-driven courses for STEM students. Most recently, he served as a Preceptor (Teaching Faculty) in the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University. Across these roles he has taught a wide range of pure and applied mathematical courses, including those connected to statistics and data science, worked with students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, and served as Course Head and Course Assistant Program Manager — continually deepening his love for teaching.

Mario joined the Statistics and Data Sciences faculty at The University of Texas at Austin in 2026. Convinced that statistics and data science are fun and that everyone has the potential to be good at them, he always looks forward to meeting new students in every class and office hour, or even over a cup of coffee on campus.
