I am Ali Mortazavi, a Ph.D. student at the Computer Science department at the University of Victoria focusing on online learning and its intersection with game theory under the supervision of Prof. Nishant Mehta.
Previously, I did my undergrad and master’s in the Computer Engineering department of Amirkabir University of Technology. I also did a summer research internship on online stochastic matching at Insitute for Theoretical Computer Science group at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) under the supervision of Prof. Nick Gravin.
