Top SchoolWinston Sieck is a Senior Data Scientist and cognitive psychologist with seven years in industry and a long research track record applying psychometrics, NLP, and AI to measure human abilities and workplace performance. He designs and validates assessment systems and competency models, leads AI/ML prototyping for next‑generation tools, and translates advanced analytics into actionable people‑strategy recommendations. His work spans experimental cognitive science, large-scale field studies, and generative‑AI scoring of open‑response assessments, including policy‑scale implementations for government and enterprise clients. Trained at the University of Michigan (PhD in Cognitive Psychology, MA in Statistics), he combines rigorous quantitative modeling with qualitative insights into decision making, culture, and collaboration.
