Joe Goldfrank

Assistant Professor of Practice
Department of Computer Science
George Washington University

I joined the GWU Department of Computer Science as a Visiting Professor in August 2022, and as an Assistant Professor of Practice in August 2023. You might read more about teaching and writing I have done.

Before this, I completed my PhD in Decision & Risk Analysis under the guidance of Elisabeth Paté-Cornell at Stanford University in California.

Some years ago, I served on active duty in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear submarine line officer, and worked at the DOD Strategic Capabilities Office. I completed a B.S. (with honors) in Physics at the College of William and Mary in 2009.

I was genuinely honored to be awarded 2023-2024 Professor of the Year by the Computer Science student body.

I am interested in improving the decisions that humans make. What that means is determined by each human.

Adjacent to the university, I make acoustic, electric, and electronic music.
