obtained her PhD in EECS at
UC Berkeley (2015). Ratliff holds a MS (UNLV 2010) and BS (UNLV 2008) in
Electrical Engineering as well as a BS (UNLV 2008) in Mathematics. Ratliff's research
interests lie at the intersection of game theory and economics, optimization,
machine learning, and control theory. She draws on theory from these areas
to develop new theory for decision-making in intelligent systems with
learning-enabled components and strategic agents. Ratliff is the recipient of an NSF Graduate
Research Fellowship (2009), NSF CISE Research Initiation Initiative award
(2017), and an NSF CAREER award (2019), and the ONR Young Investigator award
