Jorge Diaz-Gutierrez
Portland State University
I am a data analyst with strong expertise in data engineering, statistical modeling, and machine learning to support evidence-based decision-making. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering at Penn State, with an expected defense in October 2025. In my current role, I manage large-scale surveys, build scalable databases, and leverage statistical modeling and machine learning to evaluate public policies and programs. My former jobs at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Costa Rica also broadened my expertise in geospatial analysis and micro and macro simulation. I am dedicated to delivering innovative, data-driven insights that drive strategic improvements in complex systems.
