Overview
Your built environment is going to be a lot smarter. Better still, you can have a part in forging that future. The once-complex sets of disparate data of your built environment sitting in siloes have been tamed and teased out for use through the AI-enabled platform, Digital Vault. The intersection of this AI-enabled platform, architecture and communities will unlock tremendous value for everyone from occupants to owners. (Yes, even pets.)

Speakers' Profiles:
Dr. Erik Paulson,Architect, Platforms and Data Science, Johnson Controls
Dr. Erik Paulson is an architect in the Platforms and Data Science group at Johnson Controls. There, he works on Digital Vault, the data platform that helps power a number of connected equipment and smart experiences products for JCI. Before working on Digital Vault, he was part of the team that helped create JCI's first data lake.
Prior to joining Johnson Controls, he was a member of the research staff and then a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At Wisconsin, he helped manage the research computational infrastructure for the campus and often represented the university in the National Computational Science Alliance. As a graduate student, he worked on Big Data systems, including as a member of the team that produced one of the most influential Hadoop benchmarks, and later on Human-in-the-Loop AI systems for entity matching.
Dr. Paulson has been active in the community with open data and civic software development. He served on the City of Madison's Broadband Telecommunications Review Board, and later was appointed by the Mayor of Madison to serve on the city's Digital Technology Committee and was the committee's inaugural chair. He has organized civic technology and smart city meetups and events in the area.
Dr. Paulson earned a B.S., an M.S., and a Ph.D., all in Computer Sciences, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
