I am currently earning a M.S. in Computational Analysis & Public Policy, a joint program by the Harris School of Public Policy and the Department of Computer Science at The University of Chicago. I am a Research Engineer with the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation working on topics related to public transpiration, property ownership networks, and public finance. I am also a writer and developer at the Chicago Maroon. Last summer, I served as a Data Science Journalism Fellow with the Mansueto Institute's Local Data Journalism Initiative researching bus service across the city of Chicago.
I previously ran youth programming at Changiest and worked on the analytics team at the DNC. Find me on Linkedin or reach out via email at asteinhart3 at gmail.com
