Biography

Dr. Hua is an Assistant Professor of Social and Administrative Sciences, with expertise in statistics and social sciences. Research interests include pharmacist communication and the psychology of the pharmacist-to-patient relationship. Dr. Hua’s interest in human thought processes began in his college years at the University of California, Berkeley, where he received a bachelor’s degree with honors in psychology. Afterward, Dr. Hua received a master’s degree and a doctoral degree in psychology from the University of Memphis. Dr. Hua's peer-reviewed publications include an article on the teaching of statistics and an evidence-based review of an azithromycin treatment.

“Statistics can be fun.” This is not only Dr. Hua’s view of statistics, it is also Dr. Hua’s teaching philosophy. His approach to teaching statistics is to present the material as an enjoyable activity with more practical applications that may be immediately obvious. He does not see statistics as work, he sees it as fun, and he discusses statistics with the same zeal that he would talk about a favorite hobby or movie. Dr. Hua strives to apply this philosophy to all of the classes that he teaches at Marshall B. Ketchum University.
