Nicholas Boffi

I am an assistant professor in the Machine Learning Department and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at CMU. I lead a small, focused team that develops principled methods for generative modeling and applies them to problems across artificial intelligence, science, and engineering. Previously, I was a Courant Instructor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences working with Eric Vanden-Eijnden. I completed my PhD at Harvard University, co-advised between Harvard and MIT by Jean-Jacques Slotine and Chris Rycroft. During my PhD, I also spent a year at Google Brain working with Vikas Sindhwani. A longer bio is here.

My work has been supported by a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship, a Fulbright Research Fellowship, and an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.
