Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcin Jurek is an assistant professor of statistics at Southern Methodist University who builds scalable data assimilation pipelines to rapidly process massive spatio-temporal and environmental datasets, with a strong focus on satellite and GPS-derived observations. With over a decade of experience bridging academia and industry, he applies statistical and computational methods to calibrate scientific models, having developed large-scale malware classifiers and production databases earlier in his career. His background spans a PhD in Statistics, an MA in Economics from Stanford, and research at UT Austin and Texas A&M, reflecting deep interdisciplinary training in math, economics, and computation. Notably, he often blends algorithmic improvements with practical software tweaks—such as accelerating Dynare estimations—to make scientific workflows faster and more reliable.
