Welcome! I’m David M Vermillion, the Space Data Guy! I use math, data, and physics to further humanity’s space ambitions to expand into and beyond our solar system. My current focus is artificial intelligence for space applications.
I (semi) actively post on LinkedIn and YouTube. My public code repositories are on GitHub (check there for the code from my videos), and I occasionally post to Instagram, Threads, Tableau Public and Medium. You can track some of my academic publications through my ORCiD and look me up on DTIC, where I have published two papers, one publicly available.
I completed multiple degrees and certificates. In descending chronological order:
- I have a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from Colorado State University Global.
- I have a graduate certificate in Data Analytics from the Air Force Institute of Technology.
- I have a Bachelor of Science in Physics and double-minors in applied mathematics and military leadership from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T).
- I have an Associate of Science in Transfer Studies from Guilford Technical Community College.
I hold memberships with the Air Force Association (AFA), Civil Air Patrol (CAP), and the Space Force Association (SFA).
I’m a Warp Drive enthusiast and plan to continue laying the groundwork for its eventual realization as a low-priority side project. If you’d like to reach out to me about collaborating, send a note over LinkedIn and I’d love to get in touch!
“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win…” — JFK
