Joseph van Bemmelen worked in equity research for Stifel Nicolaus, a mid-sized investment bank, for close to two years before joining NYCDSA. In his role, he wrote reports on publicly traded companies and worked extensively with financial models to project a company's earnings, which sparked his interest in data science methods. He currently works part-time at an early stage fintech startup and is on the board of the Literacy Program, which connects college student tutors with underprivileged high school students at local New York City public schools. He holds a BA in Economics from Yeshiva University and aims to apply analytics and data visualization to solving everyday problems.
