Nick Machairas is an Advanced Geotechnical Analytics expert and the founder of Groundwork AI, leading the company's consulting, product development and educational efforts. Eager to remain at the forefront of the digital transformation of the Geoprofession, Nick applies advanced analytics to tough geotechnical engineering problems while working on next-gen processes for handling geotechnical data enabling AI-driven monitoring, design, construction and risk assessment. He has been invited to train, write and present on the subject at conferences and the private industry.
Nick is also a lecturer at NYU and Columbia University teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in computing, machine learning, modern databases and engineering ethics.
Nick earned his Doctoral degree from NYU, Master of Science from Columbia University and Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from NYU.
