Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Hensle is a senior consultant and former nuclear physicist who applies seven years of technical and research-driven experience to travel demand forecasting and activity-based modeling. Based in Portland, he leads end-to-end project work at RSG—selling, managing, coding, and presenting—while actively contributing to ActivitySim, an open travel-simulation framework. His background designing experiments and instruments for fission and ultrafast-laser research gives him a strong quantitative intuition and a knack for extracting signal from noisy data. Comfortable moving between technical development and client-facing roles, he blends rigorous scientific training with practical software engineering to help metropolitan planners explore future mobility scenarios.
