Balcan Named AAAI Fellow

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) has named Nina Balcan, the Cadence Design Systems Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, a fellow for her significant contributions to the foundations of machine learning and its applications to multiagent systems and modern algorithm design.

AAAI fellows include researchers who have made significant, sustained contributions — usually over at least a 10-year period — to the field of AI. Their accomplishments impact everything from AI theory to technology and its applications.

Balcan is faculty in the machine learning and computer science departments in CMU's School of Computer Science. Her main research interests include machine learning, artificial intelligence, algorithmic game theory and theoretical computer science. Balcan was named an Association for Computer Machinery 2023 fellow, received the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award in 2020 and is a Simons Investigator.
