Esther Plotnick

Graduate Research Fellow

Esther is a first year PhD student in computer science at NYU, advised by Juan Carlos Perdomo. She is interested in algorithmic systems that make predictions about people or allocate resources among them, and in developing mathematical tools for understanding the effects of these systems. She was previously a pre-doctoral research fellow in the Economics and Computation group at Microsoft Research New England, and before that an associate at Boston Consulting Group working in pricing and promotion optimization. She graduated from Harvard College in 2022 with a degree in Math and Computer Science. Outside of work, she enjoys cycling, bouldering, and eating ice cream.
