Eugenio Clerico

DPhil in Statistics student

About Me

I am a final year DPhil student, supervised by Arnaud Doucet and George Deligiannidis. Before arriving in Oxford, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the University of Pavia (Italy) and a Master’s degree in theoretical Physics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Research Interests

My current research lies in statistical learning theory and its applications to modern deep learning algorithms. More precisely, I have been working mostly on generalisation bounds in the PAC-Bayesian and information-theoretic frameworks, and on the Gaussian behaviour of neural networks in the limit of infinite width. I am particularly interested in topics at the intersection between probability, information theory, and large deviations theory, such as transport-entropy inequalities and concentration inequalities, and their connections with the generalisation problem in learning theory.
