Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTommy Blanchard is a data scientist and writer in Boston who blends a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences with a computer science undergraduate and an MA in Philosophy to explore the intersection of neuroscience, decision-making, and AI. He writes accessible, idea-forward pieces at Cognitive Wonderland while consulting and teaching data science, bringing ten years of experience across academia and industry. Tommy has led and managed data science teams at Klaviyo and Fresenius, applied neuroimaging and computational methods as a postdoc at Harvard, and now balances product-facing work with freelance consulting. As an adjunct professor he communicates complex methods clearly, and his background in philosophy gives his writing an uncommon analytical and conceptual depth. He’s equally comfortable turning noisy healthcare or marketing data into actionable models and turning dense research into engaging narratives. An early interest in performance (aerial silks) hints at a playful curiosity that surfaces in both his teaching and public writing.
