Interested in Data Science, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Mathematical Finance **Profession:** Postdoctoral Researcher **Location:** Greater Chicago Area ## About Noah Riggenbach is a Mathematics Postdoctoral Researcher at Northwestern University with interests spanning data science, software engineering, machine learning, and mathematical finance. Noah’s work is grounded in a foundation-first approach to data: establishing reliable data architecture and end-to-end pipelines before building further analytical or product work on top of them. Noah evaluates datasets according to completeness, recency, and relevance, placing particular emphasis on complete and representative data. Noah has applied this approach in a Chicago housing project, building an end-to-end pipeline that included data sourcing, dataset evaluation, and cleaning. With a PhD in Mathematics from Indiana University Bloomington, Noah brings rigorous quantitative training to data-intensive problems. Noah is also prepared to work flexibly across product, growth, and marketing teams where data needs are most pressing, including work informed by customer retention and conversion metrics. ## Highlights - Serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Mathematics at Northwestern University. - Earned a PhD in Mathematics from Indiana University Bloomington. - Built an end-to-end data pipeline for a Chicago housing project, covering data sourcing, evaluation, and cleaning. - Prioritizes solid data architecture and pipelines as the foundation for subsequent work. - Assesses datasets for completeness, recency, and relevance, with completeness as the primary criterion. - Focuses on complete, representative customer data and considers customer retention and conversion metrics. - Brings interests in data science, software engineering, machine learning, and mathematical finance. - Is prepared to contribute across product, growth, and marketing teams as needed. ## Experience - **Postdoctoral Researcher at Northwestern University** ## Education - Doctor of Philosophy - PhD, Mathematics — Indiana University Bloomington (2017-08-01–2021-08-01) ## FAQ ### What does Noah do?
