Anna Haensch

Anna works on a broad and evolving set of problems at the intersection of AI, policy, and society. She is especially excited by work that combines mathematical rigor with real-world impact — current projects span data center policy and the energy transition, optimal strategies and opinion dynamics in electoral systems, and connecting AI research to state and federal legislation. She is Associate Director of the Digital Scholarship Hub at UW–Madison Libraries and an affiliate of the Institute for Mathematics and Democracy.
