Hamilton Numbers is a group of professionals focused on data analysis and solution support. It is physically based in Hamilton, New York, but is designed as an "Internet company," so that any function can be performed from any location with an internet connection. This allows us enormous flexibility in the execution of our work. Relevant publications by principal partners can be found here.
Emory Creel, Principal Partner
Emory Creel began to focus primarily on data analysis 10 years ago when he joined the National Center for Data Mining / Laboratory for Advanced Computing in Chicago, where he was involved with a group that analyzed huge, broadly distributed data sets. Since then he has gained experience working with hospital and medical data, quality control systems, survey analysis, and experimental design. He has degrees in physics from Bennington College and Oregon State University, and a degree in statistics from the University of Illinois.
Rob is a 10-year veteran from the trenches of the network administration and Information Technology Management battlefield. He has deep experience with all aspects of networking and data security and he will apply every bit of his knowledge, skills, and abilities to transfer, house, secure, backup, and protect your data in every way possible. Rob is there to ensure that Hamilton Numbers's servers and information silos are ready and able to process massive amounts of data, return the results quickly, and ensure your project's successful completion. Rob is an avid cyclist with two gold medals in the Empire State Games and multiple gold and silver medals in the New York State time trial championships.
Tom Parks earned a B.S.E. with high honors in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton University. He earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. Tom's interests include networking, parallel and distributed computing, digital signal processing, and computer music.
For most of his career, David has worked with computers in physics research. Recently has has done scientific programming in the medical field modeling radiation treatments for cancer research at Harvard Medical School. In the physics realm, he wrote programs and procedures to analyze real-time and historical linear gravitational interferometry data. He created signal discretization methods and studied their impact to optimize information transfer. He also has experience with mathematical computer modeling, visualization, multi-node systems, and systems administration. David has a B.A., M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell, Oregon State University, and U Michigan at Ann Arbor, respectively . In his spare time, he enjoys cryptic crossword puzzles and photography.
