Robert Hawlik is a data scientist-turned-educator with 10 years of experience applying network analysis, causal inference and large-scale data work to research and innovation policy, finance, and education. Holding a Master’s in Economics from the University of Vienna, he has led impact assessments using patent and publication databases, built interactive dashboards, and implemented advanced evaluation methods for governments and research institutions. After senior roles in industry and research (including AIT, Bruegel and wikifolio), he now channels that analytical rigor into improving educational pathways for 100 middle school pupils in Vienna as a mathematics teacher and Teach For Austria fellow. Unusually, he blends high-level econometric and data-engineering expertise with classroom practice—translating complex evidence-based methods into actionable guidance for students and school systems.
