Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Garrett is a Senior Catastrophe Risk Modeler with a decade of experience translating advanced spatiotemporal statistics and machine learning into operational climate and security risk tools. He holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from UIUC and has built scalable, multi-GPU AI pipelines and guidance for secure LLM and computer-vision deployments at CMU’s Software Engineering Institute. At Sandia he developed novel hybrid ML/statistical models for wildfire and volcanic-aerosol impacts, with work published at NeurIPS and Environmetrics, demonstrating a rare blend of rigorous theory and actionable risk assessment. Now at KatRisk, he focuses on catastrophe modeling that directly informs resilience and resource-security decisions, pairing research-grade methods with production-ready code. A less obvious strength is his track record of bridging interdisciplinary teams—government, national labs, and clinicians—to turn complex observational datasets into decision-ready analytics.
