George Chen

He works on machine learning for social data analytics, healthcare, and infrastructure development. He is particularly interested in developing nonparametric inference methods and providing theoretical guarantees for why they work.

George obtained his S.M. (2012), E.E. (2014), and Ph.D. (2015) degrees from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at MIT, where he primarily worked in machine learning. He previously completed his B.S. (2010) at UC Berkeley with dual majors in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, and Engineering Mathematics and Statistics. He enjoys teaching and has taught for courses at UC Berkeley, MIT, and in Jerusalem at a summer program MEET that brings together Israeli and Palestinian high school students.
