Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKate Schwartz is a Clinical Assistant Professor in Applied Statistics at NYU with eight years of experience translating rigorous methods into real-world impact through partnerships with NGOs, governments, and school systems. Her work blends program implementation, causal inference, and mixed-methods evaluation to answer “for whom, why, and under what conditions” interventions work, with sustained focus on supporting adults in children’s lives in low-resource and refugee settings. She teaches applied statistics and research translation, mentors emerging scholars, and continues to lead impact and implementation studies at Global TIES for Children. Before academia she spent over six years in the nonprofit sector, informing her practical approach to collaboration and communication between researchers and practitioners. Unusually for an applied statistician, she also brings a game-design mindset to systems thinking and code, reflecting interdisciplinary curiosity across social science, policy, and design.
