Simone Giancola's webpage

I am a student at the research M2 in Probability and Statistics Institut de Mathématique d’Orsay, Paris-Saclay University. I am actively looking for a Doctoral position.

In the near past, I was a Research Intern @KAUST in Prof. Richtárik’s group, focusing on Optimization. Previously, I was a Research Intern @ENS Paris under the supervision of Bruno Loureiro, exploring Stochastic Gradient Descent dynamics beyond the unstructured assumption. Last year, I was a Research Intern @IST Austria under the supervision of Prof. Marco Mondelli, where I worked on Approximate Message Passing and Information Theoretic limits of a model of inference.

I graduated with an MS in Data Science at Bocconi University. My supervisor was Prof. Carlo Lucibello. Before my graduate studies, I completed a Bachelor in Economics and Computer Science.

The prompt I gave to Dall-E2 for the surprinsingly self resembling image was

“Van Gogh style painting of an Italian boy in his 20s with a shirt and eyeglasses, brown curly hair, brown eyes”

Perhaps I am a ground state of some Open AI’s ML pipeline…
