Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Marchio is a data science leader with 11 years of experience applying analytics to civic, policy, and campaign challenges, now serving as Chief Data Officer for the Trial Technology Division at the Cook County Public Defender. He has built production-grade data infrastructure and modeling pipelines for high-impact efforts—from large-scale voter targeting and SMS-driven volunteer mobilization to spatial mapping of informal settlements across sub-Saharan Africa. At the University of Chicago he led computational tools and a team that produced interactive public-facing dashboards and won NSF funding for community-engaged research. His background blends academic rigor (MS in Applied Economics, urban informatics training) with hands-on delivery in government and political contexts, and he often translates complex datasets into actionable strategy for non-technical stakeholders. Notably, he has a track record of turning research projects into operational systems that inform policy and legal practice.
