Princewill Okoroafor
CS PhD Student | Theory Group | Cornell University
I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at Cornell University, where I have the great fortune to be advised by Prof. Robert D. Kleinberg. I completed my undergraduate at Harvey Mudd College where I met Prof. Ran Libeskind-Hadas who got me really excited about algorithms and theoretical computer science.
My research interests are broadly in the theoretical aspects of machine learning and computer science, especially in learning theory and reinforcement learning. Currently, I’m working on uncertainty estimation techniques in adversarial online learning.
Besides academic research, I have completed software engineering internships at Microsoft and currently volunteer with Young Data Scientists and MathAction. In my freetime, I enjoy playing soccer and chess.
