While at WPI, Joe focused on data visualization and machine learning, and worked with Acadia National Park in Maine on a visitor analytics project. He spent three summers in Cambridge working with Draper Laboratory on data analysis tools and website development. Joe also worked as a summer educator focusing on marine sciences at the New England Aquarium. He has spent multiple summers living with relatives in Italy, and has spent some time exploring America by car – traveling to Colorado, Washington, and throughout California, making it to many national parks to climb, hike, and camp. Joe now works as a programmer, and has helped scientists discover insights about new CRISPR-related proteins. This fall, Joe will continue his travels across America while advancing his work at the intersection of data science and biology.
