PATRICK VAN KESSEL

Data scientist and computational social scientist with a decade of experience introducing and institutionalizing new data science capabilities at some of the world's top social research organizations... In my previous roles as the senior data scientist at Pew Research Center's Data Labs, an inaugural data scientist at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), and a researcher at the University of Chicago and UT Austin, I have managed and executed a wide range of data-intensive social science research projects that have required close collaboration with research, stats and tech experts to define research goals and design, develop, and deliver products involving natural language processing, machine learning, data systems engineering, and large-scale data collection.
