Jaroslaw Blasiok
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University. Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zürich in the group of Professor David Steuer, and earlier a Junior Fellow at Simons Society of Fellows conducting postdoctoral research at Columbia University, under mentorship of Professor Alex Andoni. I finished my Ph.D. at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, advised by Professor Jelani Nelson. I received my B.S. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Warsaw.
I have broad research interest in Theoretical Computer Science and worked in design and analysis of streaming algorithms, the theory of error-correcting codes, algorithms related to machine learning, differential privacy and compressed sensing. In my dissertation, I described my research in streaming algorithms and error correction, featuring applications of high dimensional probability in these two areas.
In the recent series of project my research focused on mathematical aspects of the notion of calibration for a machine learning predictor — which is a quality of a predictor to assess its own uncertainty.
