I’m Aaron Ferber, a researcher, engineer, and community builder bridging the gaps between AI, science, and society. I’m currently a postdoc at Cornell University working with Carla Gomes in the CU AI for Science Institute.I’m passionate about solving impactful real-world problems with elegant and efficient solutions. My research experience focuses on end-to-end integration of deep learning and automated reasoning, with applications in several domains such as wildlife trafficking, invasive species management, neuroscience, photonic design, recommendation systems, finance, and more.I received my PhD from the University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Bistra Dilkina, working in the Center for AI in Society (CAIS), with a disseration titled “Artificial Decision Intelligence: Integrating Deep Learning and Combinatorial Optimization”.Outside of research I enjoy raquet sports, climbing, cooking, sailing, diving, and pretty much anything outdoors. I’m always looking for new things in research and recreation so reach out and let’s do something!
