Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Simpson is a Project Lead and Senior GIS engineer with a decade of experience applying spatial data science, AI/ML, remote sensing, and immersive virtual reality to defense, government, and academic problems. He blends hands-on software development (Unity, C#), experimental design, and statistical analysis (R) to create VR data-visualization tools and rigorous human-subject evaluations. At MITRE he leads development of defense-related AI toolchains and evaluation datasets, building on a research background that includes a Geography PhD from Penn State and interdisciplinary NSF IGERT training. Mark’s work uniquely bridges operational geospatial workflows and novel VR interfaces, and he has a track record of moving prototypes through IRB-backed studies into practical tooling. He’s equally comfortable mentoring students and coordinating multi-institutional experiments, with prior contributions to open educational resources for spatial visualization.
