Alireza Mirrokni

I am a final-year undergraduate student in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology.

I am broadly interested in the foundations and reliability of machine learning systems, including statistical learning, optimization, interpretability, and multimodal reasoning. Last summer, I was a research intern at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), where I worked with Prof. Marco Mondelli. Before that, I had the privilege of working with Prof. Hossein Esfandiari and Prof. MohammadHossein Bateni. I was also a research intern at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) with Prof. Ehsaneddin Asgari.

Research Interests

My current research focuses on building principled and reliable machine learning systems, ranging from theoretical foundations to modern language and vision-language models. My recent work spans several areas:

• Theoretical machine learning and statistics

• Optimization and resource-aware learning

• Interpretability and causal analysis of LLMs and VLMs

• Multimodal and multilingual reasoning
