Jeremy is a policy analyst, researcher and public speaker with a focus on policy issues of information technology, telecommunications, innovation and futurism. He is passionate about this work because it allows him to apply an equity lens to the single most revolutionary force of the past two decades, which enables everyone to enjoy the benefits and abilities that these new technology bring. In various work and volunteer capacities, Jeremy has undertaken complex data analysis, written articles about technology and futurism, organized panels and events, and published award-winning research. He has given and moderated presentations at various conferences including Hackers on Planet Earth, World Future Society, TEDx Fulbright, TEDx Herndon, and SciTalk. He lived abroad in Israel for a year, during which he worked on the country’s technology policy at Start-Up Nation Central and participated in many lectures and trips to learn more about Israel’s social, political and religious contexts. Outside of his professional work, Jeremy has learned a lot through his personal growth and self-development work, particularly the value that practices like meditation, yoga, neuro-emotional technique and somatic therapy can bring to addressing trauma, developing emotional intelligence and improving relationships with others. He recognizes that these types of techniques enable us to remember what makes us human, independent of whatever technologies we are using at the moment. Jeremy earned his BS in Computer Science at Dickinson College, his MA in Communication, Culture & Technology from Georgetown University and his MS in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery, Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers, American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Policy Network.
