Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatherine Rosenfeld is a Senior Research Scientist with 11 years of experience applying computational analysis, Bayesian statistics, and large-scale data processing to complex scientific problems, currently at the Gates Foundation in Emeryville. Her career spans astrophysics and public health modeling, including pioneering simulations for the Event Horizon Telescope and developing GPU-accelerated pipelines to process hundreds of terabytes of data. She has a strong track record of peer-reviewed publications from her PhD work at Harvard and has transitioned those quantitative skills into disease modeling and program-relevant research. Katherine combines deep statistical rigor with production-ready software engineering, often leveraging stochastic methods and multirate resampling to make intractable datasets analyzable. Notably, she has experience turning high-performance research code into scalable tools used in interdisciplinary teams bridging science and policy.
