Geometric Data Analytics

Where practical solutions and novel insights take shape

GDA develops and applies mathematical, statistical, and computational tools for the analysis of challenges in a wide range of domains including tracking, logistics, modeling, optimization, agriculture, machine learning/artificial intelligence, and biology.

Our team combines applied mathematics expertise, agile software design, and fundamental research practices to construct compelling demonstrations of research solutions and drive informed, confident decisions.

GDA was founded in 2012 by Dr. John Harer while he was a Professor of Mathematics at Duke University performing research on grants and contracts from DARPA, AFOSR, NSF, NIH, and DTRA. Today, the number of government agencies we work with has grown to include the Air Force Research Laboratory, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Security Agency.

Our philosophy

Our guiding principle is that clients and partners should be able to use our code both as stand-alone products and as a well-integrated component within their own computational systems. Our employees have decades of experience building computational resources from hardware up, including installing and configuring deep learning frameworks on heterogeneous and distributed resources including GPUs and CPUs. Our standard codebase is developed in a continuous integration environment.

GDA mixes agile software design practices with fundamental research practices to construct compelling demonstrations of research solutions to applied problems.
