Robbie Fraleigh, PhD

Data Scientist at Pennsylvania State University
Applied Research Laboratory

I help people navigate complex data landscapes.

Who I Work With

Clarity through Accessibility

I live in the conversation between data analytics and information design, helping technical leaders and decision makers access the information they need to make powerful decisions.

My process starts in articulating the key questions at play, using a combination of facilitation and interactive visual analytics to help clients explore, reframe, and refocus the questions at hand.

I work as an Assistant Research Professor with the Applied Research Lab - Cyber Data & Imaging Sciences Division and Faculty Contributor with the Applied Biological Research Lab, serving as Principal Investigator, Co-PI, and Technical Lead on several data analytics and data visualization programs.

Recent Projects and Side Musings

My deliverables are visual and analytic tools that serve two audiences:

  1. Research analysts: Tools to access, explore, and examine the parameters that drive the data from multiple perspectives.
  2. Decision makers: Analytic summary and visual presentations that prioritize data contextualization to explore existing strategic options and make effective decisions where exploration isn’t important but summarization is key.

I often can't share my work publicly out of respect for the clients of ARL. But to give you a picture, I've included a selection of work that spans my creative interests and research areas. If you're curious about a specific sector or area of expertise, please contact me to learn more.
