Alexandre Fréchette

Hello! I am a (first year) doctoral student in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia where I work under the supervision of Holger Hoos and Kevin Leyton-Brown on machine learning techniques to speed up solvers of hard computational problems. Previously, I completed a master in mathematics at McGill university in 2012 under the supervisior of Bruce Shepherd, with a thesis about a special case of the robust network design problem. Before that, I did a bachelors in mathematics & computer science at McGill university in 2011.

My research interests are rather broad. I enjoy discrete mathematics, optimization and algorithms as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence related problems. I am also a resourceful programmer when duty calls.
