Brandon Rohrer
Brandon loves solving puzzles and building things; practicing data science gives him the opportunity to do both in equal measure. Like most data scientists, Brandon came to the field indirectly. He started by studying robotics and human rehabilitation at MIT (MS '99, PhD '02), moved on to machine vision and machine learning at Sandia National Laboratories, then to predictive modeling of agriculture at DuPont Pioneer, and cloud data science at Microsoft. Now at Facebook, Brandon works to get internet and electrical power to those in the world who don't have it using deep learning and satellite imagery. In his spare time, he likes to rock climb, write robot learning algorithms, and go on walks with his wife and their dog, Reign of Terror.
