Antoine Maillard: Prix Daniel Guinier
We are delighted to announce that Dr Antoine Maillard has been awarded the 2022 Prix Daniel Guinier by the French Physical Society.
Antoine Maillard, has received the prize for his thesis in theoretical physics entitled "Fundamental limits of high-dimensional estimation. A stroll between statistical physics, probability and random matrix theory".
Maillard's thesis research is at the frontier between statistical physics, nonlinear physics, information theory, and high-dimensional statistics and probability. He studied interdisciplinary problems related to machine learning and artificial intelligence using different methods from statistical physics, probability and random matrix theory.
He is currently a Hermann-Weyl Instructor (postdoc) in the group of Afonso Bandeira.
