Hi! I am an FDS Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. Before that, I was a PhD student in the Computer Science Department of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) working with Dimitris Fotakis and Christos Tzamos. I completed my undergraduate studies in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the NTUA, where I was advised by Dimitris Fotakis.
Research: I work on statistical and computational learning theory. My research focuses on the design of algorithms with rigorous guarantees for machine learning problems. I am interested in the design of algorithms that are robust to data corruptions (adversarial manipulations, censoring and systematic errors), algorithms that are stable to changes in the training data (replicability and differential privacy) and provable guarantees for generative models (diffusion and language models).Contact me at: alkis.kalavasis [at] yale.edu
