Welcome to the Sigma Research Lab @UChicago


The Strategic IntelliGence for Machine Agents (SIGMA) Lab works on Agentic AI; our long-term mission is to build AI agents that can learn, communicate and act intelligently when interacting with others in complex strategic environments, ranging from national security to e-commerce markets. We focus on designing cutting-edge machine learning and decision making techniques that are both theoretically sound and practically effective by leveraging machineries from optimization, learning, algorithm design, game theory, etc. Our lab has been generously funded by NSF, Army Research Lab, Office of Naval Research, Schmidt Science and Google Research.


Interested in joining our lab? Please read this.


Our lab is looking for PhD students for 2024-2025 academic year to work on agentic AI (particularly on incentives and persuasion for LLMs), from both CS PhD and DSI PhD programs. It suffices to mention my name in your application -- there is no need to additionally email me as it won't affect the admission chance.
