David M. Goldberg
I'm an associate professor (tenured) at San Diego State University (SDSU). I study text mining, artificial intelligence, machine learning, decision support systems, and expert systems. My primary research focus is in constructing machine-learned models that interpret text. Much of my past work has been applied to product safety, using text mining to analyze online reviews and identify hazardous products.
I teach Python-based courses in both applications programming (300-level) and object-oriented programming for applications (500-level). I also teach a MySQL- and PHP-based course in enterprise database management (600-level).
I earned both my bachelor's and doctoral degrees at Virginia Tech, where I was supported by the Richard E. and Carol A. Sorensen Fellowship.
I've previously worked as an independent contractor for Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) developing and curating 3-dimensional datasets for proprietary site selection software.
In my spare time, I'm an avid soccer and baseball fan with a passion for sports analytics. I enjoy Rubik's cube "speedsolving" and am aiming to break my competitive record of 10.78 seconds. Finally, I also love spending time with my cats, Duck and Goose.
