Biography

Brandon Anderson received the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 2012.
He was a Research Associate with the Oskar Klein Centre for Cosmoparticle Physics, Stockholm, Sweden, where he focused on dark matter and statistical inference in gamma-ray astronomy. Pivoting into the startup world as a Data Scientist, he designed experiments and developed machine learning techniques for the analysis of large biological datasets with BioElectron Corporation, Mountain View, CA, USA, and led a team to build out real-time unsupervised fault detection systems in autonomous vehicles with Cognomotiv, Menlo Park, CA. Most recently, he has served as the Head of Data Science with Stanford's RegLab, Stanford, CA, where he provided research direction, team management, and technical support for a wide variety of projects in collaboration with government agencies and nonprofits. He is currently putting his considerable experience to public use at the Research, Applied Analytics, and Statistics Division, IRS.
