Johnny Snyder, PhD, is an avid proponent of the teacher/scholar model. He has continued to embrace educational opportunities that enhance his classroom presence, including obtaining certifications in security and networking from Microsoft, a Six Sigma (quality control) black belt, a data scientist certified from Tableau and leading multiple teams to the finals in the GoCode Colorado competition.
Snyder teaches in the areas of computer information systems and business analytics, two rapidly evolving and changing disciplines. Due to the pace of change in these disciplines, he is constantly reading and exploring technology offerings and new analytic methods. The students in his classes enjoy the dynamic nature of these disciplines and always have ideas and input about new and emerging trends in technology, or how to improve a data visualization. The students are excited to explore ideas from the physical world and how these ideas transition into the digital arena.
Snyder has published in numerous journals and his research interests include information literacy, quantitative analysis, data modeling and pedagogical issues in information systems and business analytics. He has taught overseas at the Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua in Chihuahua, Mexico, as well as spending two sabbaticals in the Philippines.The first sabbatical was at the University of the Philippines in Lahug, Cebu, Philippines where he taught a course in business analytics, and the second sabbatical was spent doing research in disease (dengue) modeling at Cebu Normal University.
Additionally, Snyder was the keynote presenter at College of Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Sciences Student Council Symposium on Science and Computing and delivered a plenary talk at the International Conference for Science and Computing during his sabbatical at Cebu Normal University. These experiences have enhanced his scholarship and his classroom presence as well as enabling Snyder to advise students who wish to study in a foreign country.
