Organizing Committee

Dr. Svitlana Vyetrenko is an Executive Director in the AI Research group at JPMorgan Chase & Co., where she leads a team focusing on generative time series models, multi-agent simulations and reinforcement learning. She has also held lecturship positions at the University of California at Berkeley and Stanford Univeristy. Dr. Vyetrenko holds a PhD in Applied and Computational Mathematics from California Institute of Technology, and has over 12 years of experience in the financial industry working on artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for electronic trading. 

Kshama Dwarakanath is a Research Lead in the AI Research group at JPMorgan Chase & Co., where she leads efforts on multi-agent simulations of financial markets and economic systems to inform policy. She received her Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 2020. Kshama's work focuses on designing and developing agent-based simulators with reinforcement learning agents for high-fidelity simulations. Her research interests include multi-agent simulations, reinforcement learning, economic modeling and mechanism design. 

Dr. Xintong Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University. Her research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and economics, with her work finding applications to economic platforms, recommender systems, financial markets, blockchains, and social networks. Prior to joining Rutgers, Dr. Wang was a postdoctoral fellow in Computer Science and Economics at Harvard University. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Michigan in 2021. 

Dr. Jesse Perla is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of British Columbia. His research interests include macroeconomics and growth from the perspective of the firm, bounded rationality, and machine learning techniques to model heterogeneity, information diffusion, and for high-dimensional learning. Dr. Perla received his PhD in Economics from New York University in 2013.
