Emma Pierson (Arlington, Virginia) is an American computer scientist who specializes in artificial intelligence.[1] She earned a degree in physics and then a master's in computer science from Stanford University, where she studied cognitive psychology and biocomputation. She was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship[2] for her work in using computers to solve biological problems, and specifically to work on cancer treatments.[3]

For Nicholas Kristoff's "On the Ground" (in The New York Times), she contributed "How to Get More Women to Join the Debate", a contribution on gender and social media,[4] and a follow-up on her methodology.[5] Pierson works with the GTEx Consortium using algorithms to study tissue-specific gene expression in an attempt to understand complex diseases in which limited availability of samples makes traditional research methods impractical.[6]
