Nico Christianson

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, where I have been fortunate to be advised by Adam Wierman and Steven Low. In August, I will be starting as a Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellow. I am broadly interested in decision-making under uncertainty, with a specific focus on developing new algorithm to enable deploying modern AI/ML tools reliably and safely to real-world problems in domains such as energy systems and sustainable computing. My work at Caltech was supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and a PIMCO Data Science Fellowship, and my thesis won the Ben P.C. Chou Prize in Information Science and Technology, as well as the Demetriades-Tsafka-Kokkalis Prize in Renewable Energy. Before Caltech, I received an A.B. in applied mathematics from Harvard.
