Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Lauretig is a Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying causal inference, Bayesian statistics, and NLP to hard-to-measure problems in finance, public policy, and ESG research. Currently at Barclays Investment Bank, he builds Python/Spark tooling to operationalize alternative data for sell-side research and authors sector studies on remote work, ESG hiring, and portfolio optimization. A former lead data scientist at JUST Capital and a Ph.D. in Political Science from Ohio State, he has implemented hierarchical Bayesian choice models and created an R/C++ package for Bayesian word embeddings.
