Top SchoolJeffrey Rzeszotarski is a Co-Founder and CEO of DataSquid and a senior PhD candidate in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon, bringing a decade of experience at the intersection of data visualization, social computing, and crowdsourcing. He designs research-driven visualization tools and physics-based mobile interfaces that let people “touch” and explore complex data, translating academic insights into award-winning startup products. His work has been recognized with multiple Best Paper awards and prestigious fellowships (Microsoft, Siebel), and DataSquid won first prize at the 3 Rivers Venture Fair and participated in CMU Project Olympus and AlphaLab. Jeffrey’s background includes research internships at Microsoft and Google where he opened new directions in social help-seeking and crowd work quality, respectively. Beyond academia and startups, he’s unusually hands-on and creative—formerly a geiger counter salesperson, radio DJ, baker, potter, and 3D-print artist—which informs his user-centered, craft-minded approach to product design.
