Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Cesanek is a Senior Data Scientist and computational cognitive scientist in New York with a PhD in Cognitive Science and over a decade studying human behavior using advanced sensors, VR/AR, haptics, and multimodal physiological data. He designs and leads large-scale human-subjects studies that feed AI/ML product pipelines, builds cloud-based big data infrastructure for training and inference, and automates data and protocol workflows to accelerate hardware and software development. Previously he created the 3BOT system synchronizing VR and robotics for realistic haptic experiments and authored Ouvrai, an open-source toolkit that cut experiment development time from months to weeks. Equally comfortable in C++, Python, JavaScript, and cloud platforms, Evan blends rigorous experimental design and signal processing with production-grade engineering and stakeholder-facing project management. Notably, his work has helped secure multi-million-dollar grants and enabled other labs to adopt his lab systems, reflecting both technical novelty and practical impact.
