Dr. Alice C. Schwarze

at Bletchley Park in Kuala Lumpur at Oxford at Lake Elsinore at UW at Dartmouth in SLC

I am the Head or Research (previously AI Research Fellow) at the Utah AI Policy Office. Until 2024, I was a postdoctoral research affiliate at the Dartmouth Mathematics Department in the group of Peter Mucha. I am passionate about quality research at the interface of mathematics, machine learning, and society. As a postdoctoral researcher, I have studied complex systems in biology, neuroscience, psychology, and the social sciences. In my current position, I coordinate the research activities of the Utah AI Policy Office to provide scientific guidance on how policies can shape the interplay of technology and society.

You can learn a little more about my research trajectory and teaching ambitions (up until 2022) in the announcement of the 2023 SIAM Project NExT fellows SIAM News 12/2022. I will present a summary of my research activities at the AI Policy Office at the SIAM Student Chapter at Brigham Young University on December 3rd of 2024.

Together with Francisca Ortiz and Echo Liu, I convene the seminar series on "Women in Network Science". Please get in touch if you are interested in presenting in the seminar or if you would like to nominate speakers. You can sign up for the seminar's mailing list here and you can view the list of scheduled and previous talks here.

Research topics

Education

I hold a DPhil (PhD) in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, a MSc in theoretical physics and a BSc in physics from Technische Universitaet Berlin. During my DPhil studies, I was a visiting graduate researcher at the UCLA Department of Mathematics for two years. Among other programmes, I participated in the Park City Mathematics Program 2017 and the Complex Systems Summer School 2018 at the Santa Fe Institute.

For more information, please see my CV [pdf].

I am committed to supporting students from underrepresented groups in academia. Students and prospective students who are interested in applying to one of the departments or schools with which I currently am (or have previously have been) affiliated are welcome to contact me via email for advice.
