Brian Burrows

Brian Burrows has a wide range of work experience. In 2022, they began working as a Software Analytics Engineer at WindESCo. Prior to that, in 2021, they worked as a Software Developer Student at Springboard, where they completed over 700+ hours of professional full-stack engineering training with one on one mentorship while completing four in-depth, guided projects along with two fully independent web applications. In 2020, they worked as a Researcher, where they wrote research proposals for developing software to integrate experimental design, data collection, and system optimization in scientific applications. In 2019, they worked as a Scientist I at AIR Worldwide, where they developed an ETL pipeline for fitting probability distributions to Earthquake insurance claims and formulated and solved a constrained, non-linear, non-convex optimization problem to enforce quality assurance requirements. In 2017, they worked as a Computation Student Intern at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where they wrote shell scripts in Bash and Python to process over 700 terabytes of data from nuclear fusion simulations. In 2014, they worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at Texas A&M University, where they developed machine learning algorithms for estimating the damage to an aircraft and implemented state-of-the-art algorithms for Transport Maps, Kalman Filters, MCMC, and Treed-Gaussian Processes. Brian also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, where they taught extra classes for Statics and Dynamics with over 1200 students and graded assignments for Engineering Modeling and Analysis. In 2013, they worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of South Carolina, where they developed a statistical metric for classifying nano-composite material behavior and a method for applying spatial autocorrelation functions to Repeating Unit Cells.

Brian Burrows obtained a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering with a Materials Concentration from Clemson University between 2006 and 2010. Brian then went on to obtain a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of South Carolina between 2012 and 2014. Finally, they obtained a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University between 2014 and 2019. In October 2021, they obtained a certification in Relational Databases (RDBMS) Essentials from Coursera.
