Simone Maria Giancola

I am a PhD researcher in statistics at the Orsay Institute, Paris-Saclay University, supervised by Christophe Giraud and Nicolas Verzelen.

Research interests

Statistical-to-computational gaps, with a focus on the low-degree method. Loosely: the interplay of physics, computer science and statistics.

previously

I graduated with an M2 in probability and statistics, Université Paris-Saclay, @Institut de Mathématique d’Orsay. The thesis was under the supervision of Alexandra Carpentier and my current supervisors.

In the past, I was a research intern @KAUST in Peter Richtárik’s group, @ENS Paris under the supervision of Bruno Loureiro and @IST Austria under the supervision of Marco Mondelli.

I also hold an MS in data science from Bocconi University. My supervisor was Prof. Carlo Lucibello. Before my graduate studies, I completed a bachelor in economics and computer science.
