Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Hirsh is a mathematician-turned-educator and applied researcher with eight years of experience designing curriculum and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematics, blockchain, and decentralized applications. As Professor of Instruction at Texas State University he piloted and scaled a research-backed precalculus curriculum while mentoring graduate instructors and teaching a heavy course load. He brings practical crypto and data science experience from roles at Credmark and Prototypal, where he developed DeFi risk-modeling research and supported Ethereum state-channels development. Comfortable at the intersection of theory and implementation, he has taught seminars on end-to-end DApp deployment and contributed to ML and AI discussions at venues like the Topos Institute. Based in Austin, he combines a PhD in mathematics with hands-on consulting to “talk to robots” — translating abstract reasoning into reproducible computational workflows.
