Top SchoolShin Koseki is a researcher-turned-CTO with nine years of experience at the intersection of data science, urban design and democratic governance, now co-leading Cocoon Lab while holding an assistant professorship and the UNESCO Chair in Urban Landscape at Université de Montréal. He blends computational methods, political analysis and design to shape equitable metropolitan futures, bringing academic rigor from postdoctoral and visiting roles at ETH, MIT Media Lab, EPFL and Zurich to applied work with Chôros and provincial research institutes.
