Francisco Marmolejo Cossío is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Boston College.
He is also a Faculty Associate at Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Director of Partnerships at the EAAMO research initiative, and a Research Fellow at Input Output Global. His research spans applied modeling, algorithm design, optimization, game theory, and artificial intelligence. He applies these tools to real-world challenges in public health, resource allocation, and access to financial services, with the goal of expanding access to resources and opportunities in underserved communities. His work combines methodological and technical advances with interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, and local stakeholders.
At the Berkman Klein Center, Francisco is researching and developing practical, community-centered AI tools that respond to priorities identified by Indigenous communities in Mexico. As part of this work, he is expanding the EAAMO Summer of Science, a program launched in collaboration with several Mexican state research councils. The program supports women students from Indigenous communities in designing and carrying out research projects that address locally defined needs. Before joining Boston College, Francisco was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a Career Development Fellow in Computer Science at Balliol College, University of Oxford. He holds a D.Phil. in Computer Science from the University of Oxford and an A.B. in Mathematics from Harvard University.
