Lee Hoffart

Lee Hoffart was part of the founding team at Clarity, joining as a Senior Data Scientist to create a variety of new analytic offerings and work with clients on custom modeling. Previously he was a National Data Manager at ISSI and also served as a Senior Analyst on their modeling team. In 2008, after publishing 11 scientific papers, Lee left his PhD program in favor of joining the Obama campaign -- first working on the data team in Wisconsin and then joining the post-election analysis team in Chicago. As a graduate research assistant, he worked on elucidating iron-based metalloenzyme chemical mechanisms using a combination of quantum mechanical modeling and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Lee did undergraduate research in computational and experimental protein folding; primarily using wavelet transforms in conjunction with regression-based statistical models to predict common protein folding motifs. Lee holds a B.S. in pure Mathematics, Biochemistry, and Genetics from Texas A&M.
