Congrats to my undergraduate mentee Valentio Iverson (@viverson03.bsky.social) for winning this award in recognition of “remarkable contributions to basic mathematical research." One of his works is this one at COLT 2025 with me and @argymouz.bsky.social: arxiv.org/abs/2503.01766

🧵New paper on arXiv: Optimal Differentially Private Sampling of Unbounded Gaussians. With @uwcheritoncs.bsky.social undergrad Valentio Iverson and PhD student Argyris Mouzakis (@argymouz.bsky.social). The first O(d) algorithm for privately sampling arbitrary Gaussians! arxiv.org/abs/2503.01766 1/n

After a long but very thoughtful review and revision process, this paper was finally accepted to the Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA)! Congrats to junior authors @matt19234.bsky.social @argymouz.bsky.social @vkerdos.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2301.13334
