Hi, I’m Rivka!

I’m a sophomore at MIT studying mathematics, computer science, and economics. I’m interested in causal inference and am currently researching applications of machine learning to econometrics.

Previously, I attended Proof School, a math-focused middle and high school in San Francisco. I also did a project (see full paper) measuring the causal effect of strict voter ID laws on election turnout.

I’ve been fencing for twelve years. I spent five years fencing saber before deciding to switch to foil in 2019. I also occasionally dabble in epee and saber and am a certified referee in all three weapons.

In my free time, I enjoy writing on my blog, hanging out with my friends, and working on new projects with coding agents.
