Founder, Data Leadership Group (Data Scientist. Top Influencer. Speaker. Trainer. Consultant)

DataPrime, Inc.

As DataPrime’s inaugural Chief Science Officer and now a member of the DataPrime Advisory Board, I advise on activities and projects related to:
—Building the Data Science Profession for data pros.
—Expanding Data Literacy and Data Fluency across enterprises.
—Accelerating value creation and innovation from data in data-drenched organizations.

Advisory Board Member

Booz Allen Hamilton

I get great pleasure in finding solutions through data. The scientist in me loves to explore data (evidence), find new discoveries, develop a hypothesis to explain it, and then test those theories. As the Principal Data Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton, I am privileged to exercise that Data Scientist role across numerous internal and external projects: human resources, organizational change, training and mentoring, marketing, customer engagement, behavior analytics, risk mitigation, novelty discovery (including fraud detection, anomaly detection, surprise discovery), thought leadership, socialization of data science across organizations and industries, data technologies (including machine learning, data management innovations, graph analytics), predictive and prescriptive analytics, geospatial-temporal modeling, and much more. I engage with clients within the federal sector, within numerous commercial industries, and with nonprofit organizations. And I enjoy mentoring, working with, and learning from some of the best and brightest young data scientists in the business.

Vice President / Astronomer / Data Scientist

George Mason University

Conduct Research, Teach Courses, Advise Students (undergraduate, graduate) in these areas:  Astroinformatics, Data Science, Computational Astrophysics, Astronomy, Computational Science, Data Mining, Informatics, Scientific Databases.

Co-creator of Data Science BS degree program.

For over 30 years, Kirk Borne has studied the dynamics and evolution of galaxies within the context of colliding and merging galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies, starbursting galaxies, active galaxies, and the mass assembly history of large and small scale structure in the Universe.  

Since 2000, he has developed & applied data mining & data science techniques on large astronomy data collections & sky survey databases, earth science remote sensing data collections, and more.  He is investigating new and existing algorithms for the discovery of patterns, correlations, associations, and outliers (surprises) within highly dimensional astrophysical parameter spaces.  These techniques are being used in several research areas, including: galaxy scaling relations, parameterization of the dynamics and evolution of galaxies and groups of galaxies, characterization and classification of time-varying astronomical events and targets of opportunity, and novelty detection within massive datasets. As part of this research, he is working with citizen science results from the Galaxy Zoo and Galaxy Merger Zoo projects.  

He is investigating research connections with other data-intensive disciplines, to explore opportunities for advancing research in a broad context, through the investigation and application of data science methods (informatics and statistics) in a manner that transcends discipline boundaries.

He is one of the originators of the field of Astroinformatics, which is data science for astronomy research and education.  

He is working with education researchers to develop new pedagogies for science learning that engage students through active experiences using Big Data in the classroom.

LSST Astroinformatics and Astrostatistics Research Collaboration Team

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is planned to generate a 20-petabyte science database and a 100-petabyte astronomical image archive -- the analysis of such an enormous data collection requires novel research methods and algorithms.  Our collaboration team consists of astronomers, computer scientists, data mining experts, and statisticians --- we are working on solutions to the LSST petascale data challenges.

I was co-creator of the field of Astroinformatics, which is Data Science for Big Data Astronomy:
