Lucas Pesenti

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Statistics and Computer Science at Bocconi University, advised by Luca Trevisan. Before that, I studied at École Normale Supérieure de Paris and got my M.Sc. in Computer Science from the Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science.

I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science, with a preference for approximation algorithms and applications of continuous methods to discrete mathematics.
