Noah Giansiracusa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noah Giansiracusa is an American mathematician and data scientist, and an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University.[1]

Education

[edit]

Giansiracusa received a B.S. in mathematics from University of Washington and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Brown University in 2011, under the supervision of Dan Abramovich.[2][3][4] His dissertation explored the moduli space of pointed rational normal curves.[5]

Career

[edit]

After receiving his Ph.D., Giansiracusa held postdoctoral positions at University of Zurich and U.C. Berkeley and then tenure-track positions at University of Georgia and Swarthmore College prior to his current position at Bentley University.[6][7][8] In addition to research in pure mathematics, Giansiracusa has authored over a dozen opinion articles in outlets including TIME, Scientific American,[9] Washington Post,[10] Wired,[11] and Boston Globe.[12] He has also made guest appearances on CNN[13] and BBC radio.[14] In his public writing and speaking, Giansiracusa focuses on data-driven algorithms and their societal impacts.[15]
