Gali Noti

Postdoc Fellow at the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University

About

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University. Prior to that, I worked with Yiling Chen and David Parkes as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and at the School of Engineering and Computer Science of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I received my PhD from the School of Computer Science and Engineering and the Federmann Center for the Study of Rationality at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where I was advised by Noam Nisan, as an Adams Fellow of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Cognitive Sciences, as well as an M.Sc. in Computer Science and the Center for the Study of Rationality, both from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

I am interested in topics at the intersection of computer science, economics and psychology. In particular, I am interested in designing algorithmic systems that work well with people. I use machine-learning techniques, game theory, econometrics, and experimental methods, together with insights about human decision-making behavior from behavioral economics and empirical data, in order to design hybrid human-AI frameworks with improved joint performance.
