I am an Assistant Professor in Management Science and Engineering and (by courtesy) in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. I lead the Stanford Causal AI Lab and I am an Associated Director of the Stanford Causal Science Center. I am also a affiliated with the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME). I am an active member of the Stanford Operations Research Group, the Statistical Machine Learning Group, the CS Theory Group and affiliated with the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), the center for Human-Centered AI (HAI) and Stanford Data Science. My research interests are in the areas of machine learning, causal inference, econometrics, online and reinforcement learning, game theory/mechanism design and algorithm design. If you are a Stanford undergraduate or master's student feel free to come by my office hours. If you are a Stanford PhD student and interested in working with me, please reach out. If you want to pursue PhD studies at Stanford, please apply to the relevant PhD programs (primarily MS&E and ICME and potentially also CS, EE) and list me as a faculty of interest. If you are interested in learning more about the topic of causal machine learning I will be offering two new relevant courses on Applied Causal Inference Powered by ML and AI and on Foundations of Causal Machine Learning. If you are interested in learning more about topics at the intersection of ML, AI and Game Theory, I am offring a new course on Game Theory, Data Science and AI.
Until August 2022, I was a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, New England, where I was also co-leading the project on Automated Learning and Intelligence for Causation and Economics (ALICE) and was a member of the EconCS and StatsML groups. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, where I had the privilege to be advised by Eva Tardos and then spent two years as a postdoc researcher at Microsoft Research, NYC, as part of the Algorithmic Economics and the Machine Learning groups. I obtained my diploma in EECS at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. At MSR I have had the opportunity to work with an amazing set of summer interns including Nika Haghtalab, Gautam Kamath, Jieming Mao, Jonas Mueller, Yichen Wang, Steven Wu, Juba Ziani, Dylan Foster, Khashayar Khosravi, Mert Demirer, Nishanth Dikkala, Manolis Zampetakis, Michael Celentano, Gali Noti, Rahul Singh, Dhruv Rohatgi, Anish Agarwal, Matthew O'Keefe, Andrew Bennett, Korinna Frangias.
