Niao He

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zürich, and leading the Optimization & Decision Intelligence (ODI) Group. I'm also a core faculty member at:

Institute of Machine Learning

ETH AI Center

ETH Foundations of Data Science

Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems

Illinois Institute of Data Science and Dynamical Systems

My work lies in the interface of optimization and machine learning, with a primary focus on the algorithmic and theoretical foundations for principled, scalable, and trustworthy decision intelligence. I am also interested in developing machine learning models and algorithms for interdisciplinary applications in operations management, mechanism design, control & robotics, etc.
