Vladimir Kobzar
Vladimir was a PhD student at the NYU Center for Data Science where he was a part of the Math and Data Group. His graduate work was advised by Robert Kohn and Carlos Fernandez-Granda, and was supported in part by the Moore-Sloan Data Science Environment at New York University.
He completed an MS in Mathematics at the Courant Institute under the advisement of Afonso Bandeira, as well as a JD and LLM at the NYU School of Law.
His research area is mathematical and statistical foundations of data science and machine learning. I focus on their intersection with differential equations, control theory and optimization, and on applications to online learning, medical and molecular imaging, computer vision, robotics, finance and regulatory policy.
