Aparna Ananthasubramaniam

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan's School of Information, with research interests in computational social sciences, complex systems, and social policy. My advisors are Daniel Romero and David Jurgens. Before starting my Ph.D., I worked in the social sector for over 5 years, including managing Research and Development at fintech nonprofit Mission Asset Fund and co-founding and serving as co-director of Heart and Home Collaborative Women's Shelter. Before that, I got my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and Master's Degree in Management Science and Engineering (Operations Research and Analytics) from Stanford University.
