## Dr. Marco Alvarez (Assistant Professor)

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Rhode Island. I joined URI in 2015 after working in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Delaware as a visiting scholar. I graduated with a Ph.D. in CS from the Computer Science Department, Utah State University, a M.S. in CS from the Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação, Universidade de São Paulo, and a B.S. in CS from Faculdade de Computação, Universidade Federal de Mato Groso do Sul.

### Research Interests

My research interests broadly fall into the design and development of scalable machine learning techniques for structured and complex data (e.g. graphs, trees, and networks) and their application to problems arising in a variety of domains, such as program analysis, computer vision, and computational biology.
