Gabriel Weintraub
Faculty Director
Deming Center for Operational Innovation and Excellence
Gabriel Weintraub is the Faculty Director of the Deming Center. He holds a PhD in Management Science and Engineering and an MA in Economics, both from Stanford University. His research interests span operations, data science, the business and public policy applications of AI, market design, and digital platforms.
Before joining the Deming Center, Weintraub spent a decade as a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he held an endowed chair. Prior to that, he was on the faculty at Columbia Business School for ten years, where he became a tenured professor.
He has published dozens of articles in the top journals in his fields. In 2015, he received the MSOM Young Scholar Prize, which recognizes exceptional young researchers for outstanding contributions to the field of operations management. He was also part of the Chilean team that received the 2022 Franz Edelman Award—the “Super Bowl” of analytics—for work using data to improve pandemic response strategies.
Weintraub has advised and collaborated with multiple technology companies and government agencies. He is thrilled to return to Columbia, a position he will share with a full professorship at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Chile.
