Stefano Favaro

Stefano Favaro is a Professor of Statistics at the University of Torino and holds the Carlo Alberto Chair of Statistics and Machine Learning at Collegio Carlo Alberto. His research focuses on Bayesian nonparametric methods, statistical machine learning, and applications to data confidentiality and deep learning theory.

• PhD in Statistics, Bocconi University, 2009

His research interests include:

• Nonparametric Bayes and Empirical Bayes methods
• Statistical Machine Learning with emphasis on learning-augmented algorithms
• Data confidentiality and fairness in machine learning
• Mathematical foundations of deep neural networks

Recent work explores Bayesian nonparametric models for frequency estimation, deep learning asymptotics, and privacy-preserving statistical methods. He leads DataLab Algorithms at Collegio Carlo Alberto and serves as Associate Editor for Bernoulli and Statistical Science.
