About
Lukas Fesser is a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at Harvard University, advised by Marinka Zitnik and Sham Kakade. He previously earned an MSc in Mathematics (Distinction) from Trinity College, Oxford, focusing on probability, stochastic analysis, and geometry, and an SM in Computer Science from Harvard, focusing on high-performance computing and large-scale data systems.
Research Focus
Fesser works with the Artificial Intelligence for Medicine and Science lab at Harvard Medical School and with the Foundations of ML group at SEAS. His research revolves around the mathematical principles of large learning systems and the development of autonomous agents that can reliably reason and plan. He is especially interested in bridging rigorous theory with real-world applications in biology and healthcare.
