Aldo Pacchiano
Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Fellow / Incoming Faculty
Broad Institute / Boston University
I am an Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center fellow at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I obtained my PhD at UC Berkeley where I was advised by Peter Bartlett and Michael Jordan. My research lies in the areas of Reinforcement Learning, Online Learning, Bandits and Algorithmic Fairness. I am particularly interested in furthering our statistical understanding of learning phenomena in adaptive environments and use these theoretical insights and techniques to design efficient and safe algorithms for scientific, engineering, and large-scale societal applications.
In the summer of 2024 I will start as an Assistant Professor at the Boston University Center for Computing and Data Sciences. The Pacchiano’s Lab for Adaptive and Intelligent Algorithms (PLAIA) site can be found here.
A sample of my literary writings, including short stories and notes in both English and Spanish, can be found here.
