Adel Javanmard (born 1987) is a professor in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics and data science. He has worked on high-dimensional statistics,[1] foundations of deep neural network, message passing, and differential privacy.[2] He is a professor of Data Sciences and Operations at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California (USC).[3]

Early life and education

While in high school, Javanmard earned a gold medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad in 2003 and a silver medal at the 45th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2004.[4] He completed his undergraduate studies with BSc degrees in electrical engineering and pure mathematics at Sharif University of Technology.[1] In 2014, he received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University.[5] His PhD thesis, "Inference and estimation in high-dimensional data analysis" won the Thomas Cover dissertation award from IEEE Information Theory Society.[6]

Academic biography

After completing his doctorate, Javanmard was an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Science of Information with UC Berkeley, working with David Tse.[7] In 2015, he joined University of Southern California (USC) as a faculty member in the Data Sciences and Operations Department in the Marshall School of Business.[3]

Research

Javanmard has worked in high-dimensional statistics,[8] robust machine learning,[9] optimization,[10] network analysis,[11] personalized decision-making,[12] and private learning.[13]
