Adir Mancebo

Born and raised on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Adir fell in love with San Diego when he first visited the US more than a decade ago. A trained economist with over 10 years of experience, Adir earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Brazil – where he received the award for Best Undergraduate Thesis in the Department of Economics in 2012. Currently, a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Florida International University and an Adjunct Professor of Economics at Point Loma Nazarene University, Adir’s passion for problem-solving with data has led him to a career in the exciting world of data science. He is thrilled to call San Diego his home, a home that he hopes will thrive with the positive impact of Responsible Data Science.
