Grant Webb, a dynamic and out-going professional, earned a Ph.D. degree in Nuclear Physics from the University of Kentucky and has 9 years of research experience. As a postdoctoral researcher at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Grant developed algorithms to improve the accuracy of physics signal detection and implemented automatic monitoring of the experiment. He intends to apply his extensive experience in C++, Python and database management to companies in news, advertising and marketing. At NYC Data Science Academy, his final project took streaming data from Twitter to allow companies to find top social media influencers from client selected hashtags, using tools such as Spark, Python Flask, and Amazon Web Services.
