Patrick Roos

I’m a Computer Scientist by training and currently head the Machine Learning (ML) Product team at The Knot Worldwide. Previously I was Chief Data Scientist at Atos zData, the US Data Science and AI practice of Atos focused on delivering intelligent end-to-end solutions. I came there via acquisition of Miner & Kasch, an AI and Data Science consulting startup where I had a fun trajectory helping the firm grow from 4 to 30+ employees.

Before joining the industry world I did research at the National Cancer Institute and in the Artificial Intelligence Group at the University of Maryland (UMD). I received my Ph.D. (2012) and M.S. in Computer Science at UMD, co-advised by Dana Nau (Computer Science) and Michele Gelfand (Cultural Psychology). My interest in interdisciplinary work launched under Bill Manaris during my B.S. in Data Science at the College of Charleston (2007).

I grew up in Bavaria, Germany and became a US citizen after having lived in the US for about half of my life. Outside of work I spend a lot of time training and (no longer really) competing in Muay Thai.
