In 2010 Dr. Dusek earned his Ph.D. in research methodology, with an emphasis on the use of applied statistics for quantitative analytical methods, from Loyola University Chicago. His dissertation entitled "A Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Plea Bargaining vs. Trial Conviction on the Sentencing of Offenders Charged with a Drug Offense in Cook County, Illinois" may be obtained through ERIC.

He also works as an adjunct professor at Concordia University Chicago teaching classes in education research and serving as the methodologist on dissertation committees for doctoral students.

 In his personal life, Dr. Dusek runs seven miles at least four times a week during the semester and practices hot yoga almost every day.

"While the individual man is an insoluble puzzle, in the aggregate he becomes a mathematical certainty. You can, for example, never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to. Individuals vary, but percentages remain constant. So says the statistician" - Winwood Reade, "The Martyrdom of Man" (1872); quoted by Sherlock Holmes in "The Sign of Four" (1889)
