Jason Chatzitheodorou

Hello, I’m Jason! I am a PhD student in the IEOR department of Columbia University, advised by Eric Balkanski. Prior to joining Columbia, I finished my undergraduate studies in the ECE department of the National Technical University of Athens where I was advised by Dimitris Fotakis.

I am generally interested in the areas of combinatorial and stochastic optimization, with a focus on beyond-worst-case analysis and decision-making under uncertainty. Some problems I am actively working on are stochastic online matching, online clustering and submodular maximization. During my undergraduate thesis I focused on algorithms with machine learning predictions.
