Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelipe Buchbinder is a Senior Data Scientist and professor based in Rio de Janeiro with a PhD in Business and over six years applying AI and causal inference to public policy and firm performance. At BNDES he helped found a data science unit that builds automated impact-evaluation "robots" using methods like propensity score matching and synthetic control, and developed ML pipelines for invoice extraction and firm-level efficiency prediction. He teaches graduate and MBA courses at FGV on AI, machine learning and applied statistics, having led a curricular overhaul to embed Python and data science across programs. His work bridges rigorous academic research and production-grade analytics for strategic planning, including models to detect credit constraints and growth potential in Brazilian SMEs. An engineer by training with international exposure (Duke, INSA Lyon), he combines quantitative breadth with practical tools that turn complex policy questions into measurable outcomes.
