Tesfa Asmara

I am an undergraduate student in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Pomona College, advised by Professor Edray Goins and Professor Tzu-Yi Chen. I am a collaborator for the Krishnaswamy Lab at Yale University. My research interests center around the theory of computation and its interface with game theory, machine learning, probability theory, and statistical theory. I am particularly excited by games of chance that involve resource allocation and resource contention under limited information.
