Andrea Baisero is a doctoral student in the machine learning program at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Christopher Amato. Andrea pursued his master's at the Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy from 2009 to 2012, as the recipient of a double-degree scholarship, he concluded his graduate education at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden from 2010 to 2012. Studying machine learning and artificial intelligence during his master's allowed him to develop an interest in reinforcement learning.

Andrea is a member of the Institute for Experiential Robotics at Northeastern where he aims to develop state-of-the-art technologies for generalization and transfer learning. Andrea finds the ability to replicate such a (flawed and yet) highly functioning system computationally an interesting challenge. In the future, he plans to pursue a research career, building on theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
