Stunning Headshot

Kurt Pasque

My name is Kurt Pasque. Currently, I am working as a human resources officer in the Navy, but following this role I hope to enter industry or start a PhD program in 2027. My primary credential to date is my master's in Operations Research which focuses on aiding the decisions making processes (especially in the context of a business or DoD) by using methods and knowledge from disciplines like math, statistics, and increasingly computer science. I hope this site paints a picture of my interests and background.
