William Simpson Email & Phone Number

I am a Natural Language Processing Data Science Engineer at University of Maryland’s Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS). As a member of diverse and interdisciplinary teams, my work sits at the intersection of AI and advanced computation, information engineering, and behavioral science. With an emphasis on text data, I design and support the development of human-oriented analytical and machine learning tools to further the understanding of human social systems. My educational background is in linguistics and data science and has been enriched by experiences in fields including counter-disinformation, counterterrorism, and international crisis risk analysis. I am committed to continual learning and always seek to leverage my interdisciplinary background to bring creative problem solving to data-driven decision making.
