Andrés Cristi
I am an Assistant Professor at EPFL in the College of Management of Technology, and head of the Chair of Game Theory and Operations (GO).
Previously, I was a postdoc in the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at Universidad de Chile and a research member at the Simons-Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute. In 2023, I obtained my PhD in Engineering Systems 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.

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 in Mathematics of Operations Research.
I was featured on the Meta Research website as part of the Fellowship Spotlight series :)
