Cheik Traoré

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Mathematical Optimization for Data Science Group (MOP) led by Peter Ochs, Saarland University, Germany. Broadly speaking, I am interested in the mathematics of data science. Specifically, my interests lie at the intersection of continuous optimization and data science (machine learning, deep learning, statistical learning, sampling, signal processing, inverse problems, etc).

Before joining MOP, I was a research fellow at the Machine Learning Genoa Center (MaLGa), University of Genoa (UniGe), Italy. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics and Applications from the University of Genoa in 2024 (manuscript, slides). My supervisors were Silvia Villa and Saverio Salzo.
