Datacast Episode 130: Towards Accessible Data Analysis with Emanuel Zgraggen

Before founding Einblick in 2020, Emanuel was a postdoc in the database group at MIT and got his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University. He worked on various interactive tools for visual data exploration and analysis during this time. Most of them either influenced or are direct predecessors of Einblick.

Before coming to the US, Emanuel worked as a Software and Data Engineer for various financial companies in Zurich. He tried his luck as a freelancer building in-studio touchscreen installations for Swiss National TV and developing a Spotify clone that failed miserably.
