I am a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_ranks#Australia">Senior Lecturer</a> in the <a href="https://www.sydney.edu.au/engineering/schools/school-of-computer-science.html">School of Computer Science of the University of Sydney</a>, in the <a href="https://usyd-sact.github.io/" target="_blank">Sydney Algorithms and Computing Theory (SACT)</a> group. Prior to that, I was a postdoc first in the Stanford <a href="http://theory.stanford.edu/">Theory Group</a>, then at <a href="https://www.research.ibm.com/labs/almaden/">IBM Research Almaden</a>. Even prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. from the <a href="http://www.cs.columbia.edu">Computer Science</a> department of Columbia University, where I was advised by <a href="http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~rocco/">Prof. Rocco Servedio</a>. Long ago, in a distant land, I received a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the <a href="http://wikimpri.dptinfo.ens-cachan.fr">Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science</a>, and an engineering degree from one of France's "Grand Schools," the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Centrale_Paris">École Centrale Paris</a>.
</p>
<p>
My main areas of study are <strong>distribution testing</strong> (and, broadly speaking, property testing), <strong>learning theory</strong>, <strong>quantum algorithms and complexity</strong>, and, somewhat broadly, the <strong>theory of machine learning</strong>. One of my current focuses is on understanding the computational aspects of learning and statistical inference subject to various resource or information constraints. Another, not quite disjoint from the first, lies in reliable and rigorous approaches to data privacy, specifically <strong>differential privacy</strong>.

Please check <a href=#publications>my publications</a> for some of my recent work, or <a href="https://ccanonne.github.io/survey-topics-dt.html">my recent survey</a>.</p>
<p>I also regularly supervise research projects (over Summer and Winter) for undergraduate students, as part of the <a href="https://www.sydney.edu.au/engineering/study/scholarships/engineering-vacation-research-internship-program.html" target="_blank">Engineering Vacation Research Internship Program</a>, and Honours students (18cp). If you are interested in either, please get in touch! </p>
