Scholar-generated biography
Alessandro Arlotto is a researcher at Duke University with a focus on optimal sequential decision-making under uncertainty. His work explores problems in operations research, statistics, and computer science, particularly in online algorithms, dynamic programming, and stochastic optimization. His research includes topics such as regret analysis, optimal hiring and retention policies, and the design of algorithms for sequential selection problems. Arlotto's publications address the performance of online algorithms in dynamic environments, including the multisecretary problem, the stochastic knapsack problem, and the analysis of Markov decision processes. His contributions span both theoretical and applied aspects of sequential decision-making, with applications in service networks, inventory management, and electoral outcomes.
