In industry, Greg worked with all sorts of companies, from large corporations like Dell, the BBC, and Steelcase to the counter-culture innovators like Thunderdog Studios, Behance, and Obsessable. He received his MS from ACE (Arts Computation Engineering interdisciplinary program) in the Informatics & Computer Science Department at the University of California, Irvine. He received a BS in cognitive science and computation (a combination of computer science, neuroscience, and psychology) from the University of California, San Diego.
While at the Lab, Greg and alum Aaron Zinman worked with the United Nations Development Program, the Clinton Foundation, and Digicel on a project for Haiti called Konbit. Konbit is a mobile-phone-based system that helps organizations find and hire local labor instead of relying on foreign workers. The system was deployed in Port au Prince, and has received positive results from a trial in Miami. Now that he has graduated, Greg continues to work on Konbit, and with Aaron has launched a company, Empirical, that explores how to use visualizations to help us better understand the people with interact with online.
