Mario Schlosser is a prominent figure in computer science, particularly in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, reputation systems, and semantic web technologies.

Mario is a co-founder of Oscar Health, a New York-based health insurance tech company revolutionizing consumer-facing healthcare with data-driven tools. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and was a visiting scholar at Stanford University, where he conducted much of his early research. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications, including scalable distributed systems that power modern tech like file-sharing and, indirectly, blockchain-inspired trust mechanisms.

This scholarship aims to honor Mario Schlosser by supporting students who want to reform healthcare with technology.

Any undergraduate or graduate student pursuing computer science, health informatics, applied math, or data science may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Ideal candidates have shipped real projects — open-source packages, deployed apps, or research — that converge personalized health or cost risk scores. Students with a passion for fixing broken risk models are preferred.

To apply, explain a healthcare problem you want to solve and how you would use ideas from iterative risk propagation and eigenvector methods to solve it. Mario will love seeing the math in action.

Note: This is a "tribute" scholarship to Mario Schlosser and is not a scholarship endorsed by Mario.
