Isaac Sloan

Research Fellow
Data Scholars Program
Cal NERDS

Having experienced the inequities in our public education system, I have a passion for exposing and addressing the barriers low-income minority students face through data science. I am an active supporter of improving our society through data-driven solutions. My technical background in mathematics and data science combined with my applied research skills have allowed me to make an impact on our education system. I am actively looking for opportunities to collaborate with individuals and organizations that are passionate about bridging the intersections of data science.

Josh Everts

School of Information

I'm a Master's student at the Berkeley School of Information in the MIMS program, studying Data Science. I am especially interested in applying the statistical and computational methods of Data Science to problems within the natural sciences and transportation. To this end I am currently helping with the data analysis of a spectroscopy experiment at SLAC National Lab. Outside of academic work I enjoy improving my cooking skills, biking, and learning about history and geography.
