Summary

Benjamin Grayzel is a data scientist and AI/ML engineer who completed a Master's in Computer Science at Dartmouth College in June 2026. He holds a B.S. in Mathematics and Government from Dartmouth (2024). Grayzel resolved Erdős Problem #659 in 2026 using AI assistance, publishing the solution as "Solution to a Problem of Erdős Concerning Distances and Points" on arXiv after verification by Dartmouth mathematicians and Terence Tao. He built a 2024 US presidential election forecast featuring simulation-based odds and interactive visualizations, and writes about AI and politics on his Substack. His work spans agentic AI systems, LLM evaluation, election forecasting, and mathematical problem-solving with AI.
