ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Noah Giansiracusa is an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University (a business school near Boston), visiting scholar at Harvard, and co-host of the AI in Academia podcast. He is the 2026 recipient of a national communication award for "bringing mathematical ideas and information to nonmathematical audiences," an honor shared by past recipients including Nate Silver, Roger Penrose, and Martin Gardner. Noah has appeared on CNN live and BBC radio and written for Washington Post, Scientific American, TIME, Wired, Boston Globe, and others. His first book explores the algorithms impacting our information ecosystem, while his second book, Robin Hood Math, shows how people of all backgrounds can use math to help navigate life and take back control in a world dominated by algorithms.

This event is sponsored by Pande Lecture Management in honor of our new Substack publication, Shift the Mic. We’re seeking to draw attention to new voices and event ideas that explore identity, power, and possibility. Please reach out with any questions!
