Ana Rivero is a quantitative researcher with 8 years of experience applying statistical and machine learning methods to cosmological data, currently working at D. E. Shaw and completing a Ph.D. at Harvard in Physics. She marries first-principles theoretical formalisms with practical generative ML approaches to push inference beyond traditional summary statistics, focusing on observables like strong lensing, large-scale structure, and the CMB. Her background spans academic and industry settings—from hands-on instrument work at Columbia and CERN to internship and full-time roles in quantitative finance—demonstrating fluency across data acquisition, calibration, and modeling. She has taught and mentored at Harvard Summer School and Princeton, and served on a scholarship board that supports women in STEM, reflecting a commitment to outreach and inclusion. Notably, her Ph.D. research explores using generative models as direct inference tools, a direction that could reshape how forthcoming cosmological surveys are analyzed.
