Ari Gestetner

Hey, my name is Ari!

I'm currently enrolled in monash university studying a bachelor of commerce and science majoring in mathematical foundations of econometrics and computational science.

I've worked as a research assistant under Dr. Buser Say on HD-MILP-PLAN, a sequential planner which optimises a problem where the transition functions are pre trained deep neural-networks. My work included benchmarking various solvers and constraint formulations. Additionally, I worked over the summer on extending SCIPPlan, a planner for problems with continuos non-linear transition functions such as pandemic planning using the SIR model. My extension allows for non-linear constraint generation with experiments conducted over various domains.
Furthermore, I am currently working as a teaching associate teaching FIT1008, Monash's introduction to algorithms and have in the past taught FIT1045 - introduction to programming.

My interests lie in automated planning, computational theory, signal processing and machine learning, specifically forecasting and reinforcement learning. Additionally, I also enjoy musical analysis and composition, having played flute in various ensembles and bands.
