About Me

I'm an assistant professor at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) at Politecnico di Milano. I got my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Politecnico di Milano, where I was advised by Prof. Nicola Gatti. My research focuses on AI and Machine Learning, with particular emphasis on algorithmic game theory, which combines AI techniques with economic paradigms to build artificial agents capable of strategic reasoning in conflicting interactions. I am also interested in algorithms design, computational complexity, online learning and optimization.

You can find more details in my CV.

Jobs

  • person PhD Students and Postdoctoral Researchers

    I am looking for PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers to join my team at Politecnico di Milano and contribute to research in online learning and computational game theory. These are fully funded, full-time research opportunities that do not involve any mandatory teaching duty. The expected duration is 3 years for a PhD position and 1-2 years for a Postdoc position. I offer a competitive salary, and applicants from outside Italy may have the opportunity to benefit from a discounted taxation scheme. These positions are made possible through a FIS3 Starting Grant, which is the Italian equivalent of an ERC Starting Grant. The research project considers topics at the intersection of online learning and computational game theory. The primary objective of the project is to delve into the challenges of operationalizing game-theoretical models into complex machine learning systems. For PhD positions, ideal candidates should have a strong background in mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics. For Postdoc positions, ideal candidates should have a track record in performing top-quality research in machine learning theory and computational game theory compatible with the standards of venues like ICML, ICLR, EC, COLT and NeurIPS. Demonstrated past experience with such topics will be evaluated very positively.

    If you are interested in these positions and seek further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at alberto.marchesi@polimi.it. Please attach an up-to-date CV.
