CHANDLER SQUIRES
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
PI: Caroline Uhler, David Sontag
PhD Student
M.Eng in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2019
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT, June 2018
Chandler Squires is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. His research focuses on how machines can learn to reason about the effects of their actions, including basic questions about how machines can form causal models of the world by interacting with it. He is interested in the application of causal reasoning to healthcare and biology applications, in particular drug discovery. He is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Lemelson Engineering Presidential Fellow, and received the second place David Adler Electrical Engineering MEng Thesis Award. Chandler received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Engineering, both in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, from MIT. He enjoys teaching and mentoring and hopes to expand the mentorship opportunities available to students of all backgrounds.
