Vincent Counathe

I am a Ph.D. in Statistics and Machine Learning at Cornell University. I am supported by a Cornell University Fellowship.

Before joining Cornell, I completed my Master’s in Statistics & Machine Learning at Université Paris-Saclay (Institut de Mathématiques d'Orsay), where I worked at the intersection of high-dimensional statistics, machine learning and computer science, under the supervision of Florent Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, and Christophe Giraud.
