Connor Greenwell, Ph.D. is a senior research scientist working remotely on Kitware’s Computer Vision Team. He helps develop solutions in the areas of object-based detection, feature detection, motion pattern learning, and anomaly detection, with an emphasis on remote sensing imagery. He also manages a team of engineers and scientists who are working on a system for understanding human population dynamics through massive high-fidelity simulations.
Prior to joining Kitware, Connor was a research assistant at the University of Kentucky from 2014-2022. He also had multiple internships during that time at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Kitware. During his internship at Kitware, he was a member of the IARPA SMART team. After assuming his current role, he rejoined the SMART team and continued developing our geowatch system, led the effort for detecting short-duration transient events, and contributed to the Phase 3 extension of the program. Additionally, Connor stepped into the role of interim Chief Scientist on the IARPA HAYSTAC effort, successfully overseeing the critical first round of software and data deliveries and coordinating an in-person site visit.
Connor received his Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Kentucky in 2022. He also received his bachelor’s degree in computer science and mathematics from Kentucky in 2016.
