Dr. Stefano Ermon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University.
Dr. Ermon's research is centered on techniques for scalable and accurate inference in graphical models, statistical modeling of data, large-scale combinatorial optimization, and robust decision making under uncertainty, and is motivated by a range of applications, in particular ones in the emerging field of computational sustainability. The Ermon lab researches innovative computational approaches to help address the societal and environmental challenges of the 21st century. They combine research on the foundations of artificial intelligence and machine learning with applications in science and engineering. Their work enables computers to act intelligently and adaptively in increasingly complex and uncertain real world environments.
