Name: Jay Stotsky
MIT affiliation: Systems and data analyst at Lincoln Laboratory
What you work on: A mix of data analysis, mathematical modeling, and creating graphics and presentations. I currently am working on a fairly broad range of projects ranging from analyzing the performance of radar systems to modeling economic changes in critical industries.
Why the laboratory is a good fit: I really enjoy the mix of projects that I am involved in at the laboratory and appreciate the opportunity to explore some very interesting data sets.
Favorite activities and interests outside of work: I have played piano for more than 25 years. I grew up playing classical piano, but now play a mix of classical and tango music. I got into bird-watching a few years ago. It is incredible how many species of birds there are in the U.S., even just locally. I am up to about 150 different species of birds that I have seen.
