Tamar Yastrab

I am an undergraduate student of computer science in Yeshiva University. A long time lover of math, I naturally was drawn to the algorithmic thinking and puzzle solving world of programming in college. What started out as programs to do my sister's math homework and interactive supermarket maps for my grandfather has grown into a passion for learning about computer science. Over the summer I was a research intern in Cornell Tech developing a program to simulate continuous bot auctions on Ethereum and I got to write a very cool RL program. I am also deeply committed to and excited about bringing more women into the world of CS, so I take much pride in teaching Girls Who Code on the weekends and running the Women in Tech Club on campus.
