Hi! I’m Kat, an EECS PhD student at MIT interested in CS Theory and Econ. (she/her or they/them)

Hello! I’m Ekaterina (or Kat), an NSF CSGrad4US fellow and 2nd year EECS PhD student at MIT. At MIT, I currently work Dr. Chara Podimata and Dr. Costis Daskalakis.

I’m interested in a combination of theoretical (CS and micro econ) algorithmic game theory topics like strategic classification, no-regret algorithms, and learning more broadly. More concretely, I’m currently working on projects that involve

  • Correlated agent strategies in strategic learning settings
  • Allocation mechanisms to information-disparate strategic agents
  • Learning from biased data and truncated statistics

I spent the first year of my PhD at UPenn CS (where I also worked closely with Dr. Danaë Metaxa) before moving to MIT EECS to continue my work. Before my time as a PhD student, I worked as a full time researcher for Dr. Anna Costello at UChicago. I received a B.A. from UC Berkeley where I studied statistics and economics.

In my free time, I like to try to spot opossums around my campus and try new teas.

The best way to reach me is at my MIT email: mySurname at mit.edu.
