Jesse Stern is an assistant teaching professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.

Stern teaches discrete mathematics and algorithms, partly due to his love of the topics, but also because he enjoys introducing the topics to students and giving them a suite of useful concepts and modes of thought. Before joining Khoury College in 2024, Stern earned his doctorate at the University of Chicago, where he researched theoretical cryptography, extremal combinatorics, computational complexity, and algorithms. He also volunteered for diversity and inclusion initiatives at the University of Chicago and the University of Rochester.

Outside of academia, Stern enjoys walking his two huskies and searching for great food with his wife.
