Alec Gosse comes to data science from a study of how infrastructure investment and mobility patterns interact to drive environmental impacts. Prior to joining Metis Machine as Lead Data Scientist, Gosse worked to build unsupervised place understanding by fusing social media, GIS, and imagery sources at the Charlottesville firm CCRi. He holds a Master of Urban and Environmental Planning and a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia, which are both a long way from his undergraduate degree in Naval Architecture.
