Andrés Cristi
I am a postdoc at the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at Universidad de Chile. In July 2024, I will join the College of Management of Technology at EPFL as an assistant professor.
Previously, I was a research member at the Simons-Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute as part of the program "Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design."
In 2023 I completed my PhD in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Universidad de Chile, and I was fortunate to be advised by José Correa and Paul Dütting. Prior to that, I graduated as a mathematical engineer and an MS in Operations Management at Universidad de Chile.
My research interests lie in the intersection of Algorithmic Game Theory, Mechanism Design, and Sequential Decision-Making. I am also interested in Approximation Algorithms. Some specific topics I work on include School Choice, Prophet Inequalities, and Combinatorial Auctions.
If you are interested in doing your PhD at EPFL, apply here and send me an email. Contact me if you are interested in doing a postdoc.

Sahil Singla and I are organizing a workshop on Online Resource Allocation, as part of the TheoryFest at STOC'24.
Our paper "Prophet Inequalities Require Only a Constant Number of Samples" was accepted for STOC'24!
Our paper "Sample-driven optimal stopping: From the secretary problem to the i.i.d. prophet inequality" was accepted for publication in Mathematics of Operations Research.
I was featured on the Meta Research website as part of the Fellowship Spotlight series :)
