Kristian Lum
For as long as she can remember, Lum has enjoyed math and logic puzzles. Her interest in math took off in high school when she took calculus from an excellent professor at the local community college. She has concentrated on applying statistics to important problems in human rights ever since and is the lead statistician at the Human Rights Data Analysis Group, where she examines the use of machine learning in the criminal justice system.
