معرفی
Giorgia Ramponi is an Assistant Professor with Tenure Track at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics at the University of Zurich. She is also an affiliated professor at the ETH AI Center and the Data Science and AI, Computer Science and Engineering department at Chalmers University of Technology.
Her educational background includes a Ph.D. in Information Technology from Politecnico di Milano (completed June 2021 with honors), advised by Marcello Restelli, and a Master of Science in Computer Science with Honours Programme (110/110 cum laude) from la Sapienza (July 2017), advised by Flavio Chierichetti and Alessandro Panconesi.
Dr. Ramponi's research focuses on machine learning and mathematical modeling, with particular emphasis on reinforcement learning and multiagent learning. Her work bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, exploring how learning algorithms can make optimal decisions in complex environments. She has made significant contributions to areas including inverse reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, constrained Markov decision processes, and human-AI interaction through preference learning.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward addressing fundamental challenges in reinforcement learning, particularly in multi-agent settings, constrained optimization, and learning from human feedback. Her work combines theoretical rigor with practical applications across robotics, economics, and decision-making systems.

Dr. Ramponi actively contributes to the academic community through conference participation, invited lectures (including at the Mediterranean Machine Learning Summer School), and teaching. She designed and taught the "Data Science and Machine Learning" course for the ETH-Ashesi Master program. She is also a member of the ELLIS community, which connects excellence in AI research across Europe.
Her research group focuses on developing frameworks for reinforcement learning with various feedback types, including preferences, rewards, and demonstrations. The group aims to advance the theoretical understanding of learning algorithms while addressing practical challenges in real-world applications.
