Welcome
Hi, I’m Jessie! (Pronouns: she/her; pronounced: Jeh-see Fin-uh-car-oh). Feel free to call me Jessie Fin if it’s easier.
I am a National Science Foundation Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellow and CRCS Fellow at Harvard University, hosted by Dr. Yiling Chen. I also collaborate with Teamcore, led by Dr. Milind Tambe.
I recently graduated in the CS Theory group at CU Boulder, working with Dr. Rafael Frongillo. In general, my research interests intersect Theoretical Machine Learning, Algorithmic Game Theory, and Computational Economics. In particular, I am interested in how {the questions we ask of agents, the objectives we optimize} affect what we learn and how this information affects people. Previously, I was a 2019 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow.
