Chris Ikeokwu
PhD Student in Computer Science, EECS, University of California, Berkeley

I’m a 2nd-year PhD student in the Theory Group and Berkeley AI Research (BAIR), fortunate to be advised by Christian Borgs and Jennifer Chayes.
I’m broadly interested in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and mathematical economics. Most recently, graph theory, algorithmic game theory, statistical learning and their various intersections.
I also think about how tools and techniques from TCS, AI and economic design can yield insights about important societal problems.
Before Berkeley, I graduated from Oberlin College with a BA in Mathematics and Computer Science, and I’m extremely grateful for the mentorship of Adam Eck and Sam Taggart during my undergraduate years.
