Austin G. Griffith, PhD

Austin G. Griffith, PhD has a diverse work experience in data science, simulations, and modeling. From 2010 to 2016, they were a PhD Student at Cornell University, where they gained experience modeling and realizing nonlinear optical systems, building simulation pipelines to optimize optical device design, and demonstrating the first mid-infrared silicon parametric frequency comb source. Austin G. then worked as a Research Scientist at Tornado Spectral Systems from 2015 to 2016, where they were in charge of semiconductor device design and data science, and developed software for end customer product. From 2016 to 2021, they worked at MACOM in various roles, including Manager of Simulations and Analytics, Senior Simulation and Modeling Engineer, and Independent Contractor for Simulations and Modeling. Finally, from 2021 to 2022, they worked as a Senior Data Scientist and Data Science Manager at Vessel, where they lead the Data Science division, managed one junior data scientist, and two contractors. Austin G. was able to implement improvements in their image processing pipeline, resulting in a 40% improvement in throughput, and enabled an Android capable version of the colorimetric algorithm, resulting in a 30% jump in customer coverage. Austin G. Griffith, PhD is currently working as a Senior Data Scientist at EarthOptics.

Austin G. Griffith, PhD, completed a Bachelor's of Science in Physics and Mathematics from Tulane University between 2006 and 2010. Austin G. then completed a year of study in Physics at King's College London in 2009. Austin G. later obtained their Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Optical Physics from Cornell University between 2010 and 2015.
