Quinn Jones


My name is Quinn Jones, and I am looking for opportunities in Software Development, Machine Learning, and Data Mining. I was most recently the Director of the Wehrle Global Supply Chain Lab at WVU, where I leveraged my experience with virtual reality and data mining to establish the lab's first projects. As a graduate student in the WVU Vision Lab my research has focused on 3D fiducial point detection, microscopy classification, and graph neural networks. In my free time, I enjoy good and bad movies, reading about alien intelligences, and playing video and card games.
