I’m extraordinarily grateful to Dr. Eric Laber and Laber Labs for agreeing to host us for our Work Experience Program. According to their website, Laber Labs is “a statistics lab dedicated to the development of practical and mathematically rigorous methodology for data-driven decision making”. Laber Labs has been working on many projects, including precision medicine to tailor treatment decisions based on the characteristics of each individual patient, spatio-temporal reinforcement learning to inform the management of emerging and persistent infectious diseases, and adversarial decision making to understand the decision making process of two agents whose goals are either imperfectly aligned or completely at odds. I’m excited to see what awaits me in this program.
