Physics colloquium: From exoplanets to personalizing clothing

Dave Spiegel
Dave Spiegel

Data scientist Dave Spiegel’s career has followed an unusual trajectory. He started out as an astrophysicist studying exoplanets. From there he jumped to a startup, building a health and fitness-tracking device—and now he is working at Stitch Fix, a company that is rethinking the retail clothing industry.

Spiegel will be describing his experiences in these fields and the intellectual threads that tie them together in a physics and astronomy colloquium titled “From Exo-Worlds to Health Monitoring to Clothing Personalization.” The talk is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 8, from 3 to 4 p.m. in Room 4327 of the Stevenson Science Center.

A reception with the speaker will be held at 2:30 p.m. in Stevenson 6333.
