Research
Our research focuses on graph machine learning, non-stationary environments, dynamical systems, and reinforcement learning.
We also apply machine learning in many diverse fields, including neuroscience, power grids, chemistry, and agriculture, among many others.
Open Source
Our group is active in open source software development and we maintain several Python libraries based on our research. Check out also the group GitHub page for code related to our papers.
