Sam Collier hails from across the pond where he earned both a First Class BSc and an MEng in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford, specializing in energy engineering. While in London, he did some work for an investment bank and venture capital firm, but found his passion in the intersection of business and engineering in the energy sector, particularly clean energy. While working on his award-winning final year project on energy network flexibility projections, he also acquired a passion for data analysis, which is he is now pursuing at the NYC Data Science Academy. His dream is to apply his technical skills to countering climate change. Within the realm of data science, Sam loves interrogating data and creating beautiful visualizations. When not at work Sam enjoys sports. Since arriving in New York, he’s also become a fan of basketball and puts every inch of his 5’ 8” into the game.
