Responsible AI for Science and Engineering (RAISE) Group
I lead the RAISE group where I am fortunate to work with an amazing set of students and collaborators.
We work on foundational topics relating to machine learning and optimization, privacy and fairness.
We often ground our research in applications at the intersection of physical sciences and energy, as
well as policy and decision making.
I am looking for self-motivated PhD students, postdocs, and interns!
Students should have a strong background in generative models and optimization and a strong interest in at least one of the following research areas:
- Foundations of constraint-aware generative AI
- GenAI for biology
- GenAI for power systems
- Multiagent systems safety
If you are interested in working with me, please fill out this interest form. After completing the form, you are welcome to reach out by email. I will read all submissions and emails, though I may not be able to reply to each individually.
