Jennifer Schnur is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Notre Dame’s Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society. She received her bachelor's of science in computing and applied mathematics from Saint Mary's College in 2018. After completing her bachelor's degree, she worked at Northwestern Medicine in a patient outcomes coordinator role, analyzing data from the Critical Care Unit, Emergency Department, and Rapid Response Team.

At Notre Dame, Schnur’s research broadly focuses on interpretable modeling within the context of human health applications. Currently she works on symbolic regression, which is the supervised machine learning problem of finding a free-form mathematical expression to model a target variable. She has collaborated with Un Kilo de Ayuda (UKA), a non-governmental organization in Mexico focused on improving early childhood development, and Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez (HIMFG), a hospital in Mexico City that serves pediatric oncology patients.
