José Bayoán Santiago Calderón is a research economist in the national economic accounts research group at the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Before joining the federal statistical system, Dr. Santiago Calderón had years of experience in the private sector as a research scientist at various companies. Bayoán also held academic appointments with the Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative at the University of Virginia, where he started his career in public service.
His research has centered on improving decision-making, emphasizing the public good (e.g., science policy). His transdisciplinary research approach has enabled him to routinely collaborate across disciplines and develop a diverse set of domain knowledge and methodological toolset. He also participates in various open-source software communities (e.g., JuliaLang) and civic activism (e.g., Code4PR, Mentes Puertorriqueñas en Accion).
I read quite a bit of manga, manhwa & manhua as well as watching anime, donghua and KDramas. Sometimes, I even have time and energy to play some videogames. Check out the relevant profiles: PSN Profiles, MyAnimeList, MyDramaList.

My research focus is in the areas of the digital economy, intellectual property products (IPPs), and own account procurement. Some of my work include exploring a range of measurement issues concerning intangibles assets such as software (e.g., own account, open-source) and data.

My strategic & scientific consulting work included projects across multiple therapeutic areas such as rare diseases, metabolic diseases, pediatrics, oncology, and vaccines. I conducted multiple clinical trial evaluations of the safety and efficacy of formulations to support drug development strategies at the company (e.g., study design, stop/go decisions, model development, biomarker exploration, dose selection) and regulatory processes (e.g., type-C meetings).
My work in the product development team was primarily the development of the module for bioequivalence (BE) analysis in the Pumas ecosystem. This included the design, implementation, testing, documentation, maintenance, and coordination with the other components of the ecosystem.

Some of the methods for the data collection and analysis included computer laboratory experiments, drug studies (e.g., alcohol, testosterone), biometric research such as electroencephalogram (EGG) and electrocardiogram (ECG), eye-tracking, and blood work. Several of the tools used included z-Tree and iMotions-BIOPAC.
