Saeed Seddighin

I am currently a Research Assistant Professor at TTIC. I was a postdoc at Harvard University hosted by Prof. Michael Mitzenmacher and received my PhD in 2019 from the University of Maryland under Prof. MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi. You can find my resume here.

I have a broad interest in theoretical computer science and its applications in computational biology, machine learning, economics, and artificial intelligence. The emphasis of my research is on fine-grained algorithm design and algorithmic game theory.
