Ashia Wilson

I will be joining the MIT faculty in the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) as an assistant professor, and the Laboratory for Information & Decisions Systems (LIDS) as a faculty PI in 2021. I obtained my BA from Harvard with a concentration in applied mathematics and a minor in philosophy, and my PhD from UC Berkeley in statistics. Before joining MIT, I held a postdoctoral position in the machine learning group at Microsoft Research.

My research focuses on the methodological foundations and theory of various topics in machine learning. I am interested in developing frameworks for algorithmic assessment and providing rigorous guarantees for algorithmic performance. Here is a list of some information about me [CV, Google Scholar, Contact]. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and taking long walks.
