Hi, I'm Jonathan Segal

I'm currently working on my Ph.D. in Information Science at Cornell Tech and am a member of AIRLab led by Dr. Angelique Taylor. I am motivated by a future where augmented reality transforms healthcare delivery, particularly by assisting EMS and other medical professionals in high-stakes situations. Additionally, I am excited about many topics, such as particle physics, sports analytics, geospatial data, generative AI, and startups.

I've earned a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering at Iowa State, where I worked with Dr. Stephen Gilbert and Dr. Michael Dorneich at VRAC. I spent a summer at SLAC working with Dr. Jeff Shrager and Wan-Lin Hu. I've interned at BlackRock, Dwolla, and Corteva.
