Senior🎓
Top SchoolEfrén Cortés is a Data Scientist and University of Michigan Data Science Fellow with nine years of experience, currently working at Northwestern University and affiliated with the Center for Complex Systems in Ann Arbor. He builds algorithms that foreground fairness, responsibility, and social context, combining strengths in machine learning, causal inference, agent-based modeling, and nonparametric statistics. His research-driven approach blends dynamical systems and reinforcement learning to tackle real-world decision problems while embedding ethical principles into model design. Trained with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, he bridges rigorous theory and applied systems, often reframing technical questions through societal lenses to surface less-obvious tradeoffs.
