About OZ Labs

Dr. Aaron Osgood-Zimmerman

OZ Labs is a technical consulting practice founded by Aaron Osgood-Zimmerman — a statistician, engineer, and builder who works at the intersection of data science and software engineering. Whether you need a statistical model that accounts for uncertainty, a machine learning system that runs in production, an interactive web application, or a novel visualization that reveals what your data is actually telling you — we build it.

Previously, Aaron was an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Bucknell University. Before that, he spent four years at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, where he led a team of statisticians and software engineers developing high-resolution spatio-temporal models deployed across a large-scale computing cluster. Their work produced 5×5km resolution maps of child health outcomes across Africa and low- and middle-income countries, published in Nature, Nature Medicine, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine. This work was cited by Kofi Annan in a Nature World View letter.

He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Statistics from the University of Washington (advisor: Jon Wakefield) and a B.A. in Mathematics and B.S. in Engineering from Swarthmore College.

Beyond academic research, Aaron builds interactive web tools and data visualizations — including see-tao.live, an educational platform for the Bittensor network featuring interactive D3.js Sankey diagrams and animated token flows.
