Geoffrey Négiar

PhD Student

UC Berkeley, BAIR

I’m a 5th-year PhD student in UC Berkeley’s BAIR, co-advised by Prof. Michael Mahoney and Prof. El Ghaoui. My research focuses on leveraging mathematical optimization to incorporate and analyze structure in learning systems.

I’m currently a Student Researcher at Google Research, hosted by Fabian Predregosa, remotely in Montréal. I’m a member of the French Armament Corps (DGA, i.e. French DARPA Fellowship). I enjoy applying my research to industry problems: I’ve interned at Bloomberg LP, Shift Technology, and was a part time researcher at SumUp Analytics.
