Anas Barakat
Research Fellow
Singapore University of Technology and Design
I am currently a research fellow at Singapore University of Technology and Design working with Georgios Piliouras and Antonios Varvitsiotis.
My research interests lie in the span of optimization, multi-agent learning, and reinforcement learning. I am broadly interested in understanding and designing optimization and multi-agent learning algorithms for sequential decision-making motivated by machine learning, RL, and multi-agent RL applications using tools from stochastic approximation, optimization, game theory, and dynamical systems.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at ETH Zurich working with Niao He in the department of computer science. I obtained my PhD in applied mathematics and computer science from Institut Polytechnique de Paris at Télécom Paris under the supervision of Pascal Bianchi and Walid Hachem. I received my engineering Master’s degree in applied mathematics and computer science from Télécom Paris and a Master’s degree in data science from Université Paris Saclay.
