and build a GIS career in the national
security sector.
ELIJAH STAPLE
University of Colorado, Boulder
Computer Science
After interning at two Silicon Valley companies,
Staple gained a strong interest in
the deep machine learning systems used
for Big Data analysis and hidden pattern
recognition. After college, he plans to

from large data sets.
JORY FLEMING
University of South Carolina
Geography & Marine Science
Fleming’s core interests are Big Data
analysis to solve the problems facing the
world’s oceans and developing novel
modeling methods to predict future intelligence
scenarios. With anthropogenic
impacts altering the ocean environment
and increasing competition for marine
resources and water, Fleming aims to
become an expert in “blue” GEOINT.
