DataPreneur Teaser 08: Application of Space-Based Data

Posted on by The Admin

Welcome back! Thank you for returning to the VSDC blog. Today, we’re going to join David Perkins, our host and entrepreneur-in residence for the enlightening wrap-up of this week’s discussion about space and space-based data. In the final segment of this interview, our space experts point out the multitude of applications for space-based data; from world-wide, global-scale data, down to high-resolution parking-lot traffic density tracking.

The experts joining David again:

Dr. William Edmondson, who has spent the last 14 years performing research in the area of small satellites with a  focus on communications computing systems engineering, and technology development for SWARMS.

Dr. Kimberly Scott, Co-founder and VP of data science at Astraea, a geospatial analytics startup in the commonwealth of VA and who has an extensive background in space and space data, specifically studying galaxies and the fundamental nature of the universe.

And Dr. Bob Ash, a distinguished professor at ODU with an extensive background in space and physics, including space systems engineering, marsh exploration, and extraterrestrial resources.

DataPreneur Podcast Teaser 02: Business Skills for Data Science

Posted on by The Admin
Jason Krantz highlights the significance of developing “soft” business skills to better utilize technical skills.

This is the second part of David Perkin’s interview with Jason Krantz, CEO and Founder of Strategy Titan – a data advisory and consulting firm. This is from the “DataPreneur” podcast, where David hosts interviews with data scientists and subject-matter experts about their practical experience in both data science and entrepreneurship as part of the VA Smallsat Data Consortium, which is  a statewide program led by ODU and Virginia Tech to stimulate data science startup companies in the commonwealth of VA.

In the second part of this interview, Jason Krantz gets into the significance of what he calls “weaponizing” highly technical data science skills by bolstering those softer, more elusive entrepreneurial and business skills.
