Cheik Traoré

I hold a TIRIS Junior Fellowship at Toulouse School of Economics – TSE, working with Jérôme Bolte and Edouard Pauwels on nonsmooth optimization. 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 TSE, I was a postdoc at the Mathematical Optimization for Data Science Group (MOP) led by Peter Ochs, Saarland University, Germany. In 2024, I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics and Applications from the University of Genoa (UniGe) in Italy (manuscript, slides). My supervisors were Silvia Villa (primary), and Saverio Salzo.

I am on the job market for 2027. If you are aware of any opportunities or future openings for a start in 2027, I would be very happy to hear from you. Please also feel free to contact me if you would like to invite me to give a seminar or a talk.
