Summary
Ari Boyarsky is a PhD candidate in Decision, Risk, and Operations at Columbia Business School with a decade of quantitative experience spanning academia, government, and finance. His research blends theoretical statistics, nonparametric methods, and learning theory to tackle non-standard inference and reliable causal estimation, with practical stints as a quantitative research intern at Cubist and as a research fellow at Yale. Prior roles at the University of Chicago, Pew Research Center, and the Office of Management and Budget reflect strong empirical and policy-oriented data skills alongside formal theory. Comfortable moving between proofs and production-ready analysis, he applies stochastic optimization and decision-focused thinking to real-world problems. Based in New York, he brings a rare combination of deep theoretical rigor and hands-on data science experience that informs both scholarly contributions and applied modeling.
