Seth Schimmel is Director of Research Analytics with eight years’ experience applying data analysis, NLP, and digital research methods to social-behavioral and biomedical research compliance and program evaluation. He blends hands-on data work—ETL, web scraping, text mining, NER and visualization in Python, PowerBI and Tableau CRM—with policy-focused IRB and HRPP oversight, having reviewed over 1,200 protocols. Trained in cognitive science and philosophy of science (UPenn) and completing an MS in Data Analysis and Visualization (CUNY), he translates qualitative and quantitative evidence into actionable reports and dashboards for senior leadership. At Open Society Foundations he built reusable data assets and pipelines for unstructured text, and at Digital Science he now leads analytics that bridge research integrity, governance and data strategy. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic coaching across skill levels and for spotting operational bottlenecks that unlock faster, more reproducible research.
