Youssef Allouah
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Computer Science
BioYoussef Allouah is a visiting researcher at Stanford University advised by Prof. Sanmi Koyejo, and a third-year PhD student at EPFL, advised by Prof. Rachid Guerraoui. He previously graduated from Ecole polytechnique in Mathematics and Computer Science in 2021, with a research internship at Amazon. His research interests lie in trustworthy machine learning, with a focus on the theoretical aspects of robustness and privacy in distributed settings.

Rika Antonova
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University and a recipient of the NSF/CRA Computing Innovation Fellowship. Currently, I work at the Interactive Perception and Robot Learning (IPRL) lab headed by Jeannette Bohg. In the summer of 2024, I will be transitioning to a faculty position at the University of Cambridge.
I completed my PhD work on data-efficient simulation-to-reality transfer at the Robotics, Perception and Learning lab at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden), working in the group headed by Danica Kragic. During my PhD, I also had an opportunity to intern at NVIDIA Robotics (Seattle, USA) and Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK).
Previously, I was a Masters student at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, developing data-efficient approaches for learning controllers for bipedal locomotion (with Akshara Rai and Chris Atkeson). During my time at CMU, my MS advisor was Emma Brunskill, and in her group I also worked on developing reinforcement learning algorithms for education.
Prior to that, I was a software engineer at Google, first in the Search Personalization group and then in the Character Recognition team (developing open-source OCR engine Tesseract). -

Róbert Csordás
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher in the Stanford NLP Group, supervised by Prof. Christopher Manning and Prof. Christopher Potts. Previously, I did my PhD in IDSIA, supervised by Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber. I work on systematic generalization, mainly in the context of algorithmic reasoning. This drives my research interest in network architectures (Transformers, DNC, graph networks) with inductive biases like information routing (attention, memory) and learning modular structures. My goal is to create a system that can learn generally applicable rules instead of pure pattern matching but with minimal hardcoded structure. I consider the lack of systematic generation to be the main obstacle to a more generally applicable artificial intelligence.

Andrea Cuadra
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioI am a postdoc working with James Landay. My field is Human-Computer Interaction, and my work lies at the intersection of interaction design, inclusivity, and artificial intelligence. I study the needs of marginalized groups who may particularly benefit from or be harmed by the outcomes of technology design decisions that affect us all. In addition, I employ my design skills to generate and advocate for more-inclusive design alternatives.
