Noah Giansiracusa’s Bio
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.

"Noah had explained to a room full of over 100 people, from different countries, different walks of life, different areas of interest, the maths of the algorithm and its consequent impacts. I have been teaching media/digital literacy skills for the BBC and many other organisations for several years, to audiences the world over. I thought I knew my field. But Noah’s contribution caused the scales to fall from my eyes and to wonder if I had finally – after much searching – found the elixir of media literacy."
