Biography
Marie Siew is currently a Faculty Early Career Award (FECA) Fellow in the Information Systems Technology and Design Pillar (ISTD) at SUTD. Prior to joining SUTD, she was a postdoctoral researcher in Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof Carlee Joe-Wong. Dr Siew obtained her PhD in ISTD in SUTD, advised by Prof Tony Quek and Dr Desmond Cai. Her thesis was on “Resource Sharing in Mobile Edge Computing”. She obtained her B.Sc in Mathematical Sciences in Nanyang Technological University.
Research Interests
Dr. Siew’s research focuses on user-centric challenges like user incentives, resilience, and fairness, in optimizing resource allocation within edge computing (EC), federated learning (FL), and other network + AI environments. Working together with collaborators, Dr Siew’s research has involved developing decision-making, resource allocation, optimization, and learning algorithms, focusing on user incentives, resilience, and fairness in EC and FL systems, besides addressing efficiency. Dr. Siew is also exploring large language model powered autonomous agents, and human-in-the-loop learning in networked systems.
