Dr. Alvin Ang is a data scientist and data science educator with a PhD in Operations Research, an MSc in Logistics and a BEng in Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation Engineering, all from Nanyang Technological University. Operations research is the mathematics of better decisions, and his published work on Kanban production-control systems at IEEE conferences reflects the quantitative rigour he brings to every class. He has served as an IBM Data Science Instructor, a Research Fellow at NUS, a Principal Consultant in data science and an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at SP Jain School of Global Management, where he was named Mathematics Professor of the Year, and he lectured undergraduates in statistics and quantitative methods at SUSS. Since 2021 he has trained professionals at Tertiary Infotech in Python, R, SQL, statistics, Excel analytics, Tableau, Power BI, Apache Spark, machine learning and deep learning, and he founded DataFrens.sg, a community for data scientists in Singapore. An ACLP-certified adult educator, he is known for connecting technical concepts to practical, real-world applications, a strength echoed in hundreds of learner recommendations.
In Data Analytics with R, Dr. Ang teaches data analysis in R, the language he has long used for statistics and research. Learners import, prepare and transform data, summarise it, apply quantitative analysis and statistical tests, and present results with clear visualisations. Having lectured statistics and quantitative methods at university level, he explains each method in plain language and shows how to interpret the output correctly.

- Engaging Data Analytics with R Course Review by Course Participant/Trainee
-
I had the opportunity to attend Dr Alvin Ang's Data Analytics with R course, and I enjoyed the class a lot. Dr Alvin Ang was able to explain R concepts very clearly and answer our questions promptly. His teaching style was very engaging (he includes some witty humour during the class from time to time). I would recommend anybody who wants to learn a skill to come sign up for a course at Tertiary Courses Singapore. (Posted on 8/12/2026)1. Do you find the course meet your expectation? 2.
