Jared Weissberg
I’m Jared Weissberg, a Stanford alumnus in economics and computer science. I work on machine learning and robotics, and outside of that, I'm a classical cellist.
I completed my BA and MS at Stanford in three years, graduating with a 4.0 GPA.
Here’s me at Carnegie Hall, plus performances of Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations and Bach's Suite No. 3, Prelude.
Computer Science Research
At Stanford, I worked on research in robotics, AI, and speech, including work with Hazy Research, SAIL, and researchers at Meta.
Selected Papers

Coursework and Teaching
In my third year, I taught CS229, CS224S, and CS256, helping lead lectures, write exams, and run sections. I am grateful to the professors whose support fully funded my master’s at Stanford.
Selected Coursework: Math 230, CS140E, CS261, CS254, CS231N, CS224N.
Economics Research
- Examining the Effect of the Number of Arts Teachers on the Number of 2-Year and 4-Year Arts Degree Completions Across California Counties

Experience
I've also worked in finance, startups, and venture, including roles at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, P10Y, and Founder Partners.
At Stanford, I founded the Stanford Cowell Fund.
Other Work
I played in the Stanford Symphony and studied for a time at the London School of Economics.
Earlier, I founded a food insecurity nonprofit focused on serving children in underserved communities.
Outside the Lab
Before college, I was principal cellist of Orange County School of the Arts and the Orange County Youth Symphony.
For fun, I enjoy long bike rides and once cycled from Geneva to Nice. I also like chocolate chip cookies.
