Anthony Corso
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioAnthony is a postdoctoral researcher in the Aeronautics and Astronautics Department at Stanford University where he is advised by Professor Mykel Kochenderfer in the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL) and he is the executive director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety. His research is focused on the use of algorithmic decision-making for safety-critical applications, emphasizing the creation of robust, reliable autonomous systems. He has developed algorithms for the validation and verification of complex autonomous systems such as autonomous vehicles and aviation subsystems. More recently he has applied algorithmic decision making to low-carbon earth resource projects for storing carbon, producing renewable energy, and storing renewable fuels.In 2014 he received a B.S. in physics from Harvey Mudd College with an emphasis on computational methods and in 2016 he received his Master’s in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford. He is a recipient of the Stanford Graduate Fellowship and the Nicholas J. Hoff award for outstanding performance as a Master’s Student.
