Bryan’s interests broadly encompass the application of intelligent technology to global problems. He is a PhD candidate in computer science at the University of Texas at Austin, and received his BS in computer science from Cornell University. His academic research bridges statistics, natural language processing, and combinatorial optimization, with a focus on building systems that learn from experience to solve computational problems more efficiently. His industry work spans the spectrum from pure software engineering to underwater robotics. In both academia and industry, his focus has been on the challenging problems that lie at the intersections of disciplines.
Victoria Arch, Director of Strategy
Victoria is a life science and sustainability specialist with multidisciplinary expertise ranging from systems ecology to biomedicine. She learned the intricacies of environmental science and policy while pursuing a B.S. in Earth Systems at Stanford University. Following her undergraduate degree, she received a Ph.D. in Biology from UCLA. During her extensive dissertation fieldwork in rural Southeast Asia, Victoria fully recognized the intimate relationship between poverty and environmental degradation. As a result of this experience, she realized her goal of applying her systems science background toward projects with immediate social and environmental impact. With Angaza Design, she is excited to show that smart, scalable technology can greatly benefit both people and planet. Contact Victoria at VictoriaA@angazadesign.com.
