"It's a joy to read a book by a mathematician who knows how to write."
—Paul Romer, Nobel Laureate and former Chief Economist of the World Bank

"Thanks for all that you do in support of sanity and justice."
—Alondra Nelson, former Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy

"Kim and I were glad to have your expertise."
—Wayne Gray, producer for 'CNN Newsroom with Kim Brunhuber'

"It’s rare to find a mathematician who understands the technical aspects of algorithms and is also able and willing to communicate to a general audience. He is knowledgeable, even-handed, clear and fair in his approach."
—Anya Schiffrin, journalist and Director of Columbia University's Technology Media and Communications Specialization

"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."
—Janette Ballard, award-winning documentary film director and media literacy consultant  

Noah Giansiracusa, PhD in math from Brown University, is an associate professor of mathematics at Bentley University (a business school near Boston) and a visiting scholar at Harvard. After publishing the book How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News in July 2021 (about which Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer said "There is no better guide to the strategies and stakes of this battle for the future"), Noah has gotten more involved in public writing and public speaking and policy discussions concerning data-driven algorithms and their role in society. He's appeared on CNN live and BBC radio and written for Washington Post, Scientific American, TIME, Wired, Boston Globe, and others. Noah is currently working on a second book, Robin Hood Math, exploring how people of all backgrounds—not just quants and techies—can use math to help navigate life. He is also cohost of the AI in Academia podcast.

For the Fall 2024/Spring 2025 academic year Noah will be a Visiting Scholar in the Institute for Rebooting Social Media at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, studying targeted advertising algorithms and the role they play in funding misinformation.
