Mauricio Tec is a Ph.D. student in Statistics at the University of Texas at Austin. His main research interest is developing new AI and statistical methods for public policy, healthcare, and scientific applications. He considers major challenges like causality, sequential decisions, uncertainty quantification, and modeling complex structured data. Thus, he focuses mainly on deep and reinforcement learning, Bayesian statistics, and causal inference techniques. He believes that AI can revolutionize scientific…
Arpita Biswas is a CRCS Postdoctoral Fellow at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University. Her research focuses on Algorithmic Decision Making and Societal Impact, tackling fairness concerns, resource limitations, and robustness issues. Her broad areas of interest include Algorithmic Game Theory, Optimization, and Machine Learning. Her algorithmic contributions span across a wide range of problems, including fair resource allocation, fairness in machine learning, sequential…

Marissa Childs is a postdoctoral fellow through the Harvard University Center for the Environment mentored by Christopher Golden and Francesca Dominici. Her research broadly seeks to understand how environmental change affects human health by combing data from remote sensing and ground measurements with methods from disease ecology and causal inference. Her current postdoc research is part of the Madagascar Climate-Smart Public Health project. Marissa received her PhD from the Emmett…
Dr. Kate Hu was the Head of Data Science at Aclima Inc, where she drives the company’s data science research and development to deliver hyper-local air pollution maps and insights at unprecedented block-by-block resolution. Her previous expertise includes methods development for complex epidemiological studies and data science research in precision agriculture for sustainable farm management amid climate change. Kate graduated with First Class Honours from the University of Hong Kong,…
Oladimeji Mudele is a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health mentored by Christopher Golden and Francesca Dominici. His work centers on the application of geospatial information and data science methods for connecting climate and health outcomes/policy. He holds an M.Sc in Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude) and a Ph.D. in Electronic, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (2021) from the University of Pavia (UNIPV), Italy. Before…
Dr. Cuicui Wang is a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Joel Schwartz. Her research program focuses on determining the biological mechanisms linking environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution, temperature) and cardiopulmonary diseases. She is also interested in epidemiology looking at the health consequences of exposure to pollutants
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard University. Previously, I got a PhD in Economics and Data Science jointly at IMT School for Advanced Studies (Italy) and KU Leuven (Belgium). I am fascinated by the application of statistical methods to social and health sciences. My research is at the intersection between causal inference and machine learning. In particular, I study methods to improve public and private interventions in a rampantly heterogeneous world.…

Jie Chen received a PhD degree from Utrecht University (Netherlands) in Environmental Epidemiology. Her research has been focusing on air pollution exposure assessment and air pollution epidemiology. She was the project manager of the multi-center ELAPSE (Effects of Low-level Air Pollution, a Study in Europe) project from 2019 to 2022. The ELAPSE project studies effects of low-level air pollution on mortality and morbidity, using data from European cohort studies and…
Scott Delaney, ScD JD MPH, is an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. His research seeks to identify ways that social, environmental, and psychosocial factors interact to affect health outcomes with the aim of creating better, more equitable healthcare, social, and legal systems. Currently, Dr. Delaney is exploring how social marginalization and disadvantage exacerbate effects of climate change on brain health.
