Sylvain Sardy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Geneva, where he conducts research at the intersection of statistics, optimization, and machine learning. He is affiliated with the Analysis, Mathematical Physics and Probability research group and has held significant editorial positions including Associate Editor for Computational Statistics and Data Analysis since 2020.
Professor Sardy's research focuses on statistical machine learning, sparsity, and optimization with applications spanning astronomy, chemometrics, finance, and tomography. His work develops innovative methods for high-dimensional data analysis, particularly using wavelet-based approaches and LASSO regularization techniques for feature selection, denoising, and model selection. His publications reveal a consistent focus on finding sparse signals in complex datasets across diverse scientific domains.
Professor Sardy has mentored numerous graduate students, currently supervising PhD candidate Maxime van Cutsem and having previously guided Dr. Xiaoyu Ma, Dr. Pascaline Descloux, Prof. Jairo Diaz Rodriguez, and Dr. Caroline Giacobino. His Master's students include Jairo Diaz (now Professor at Universidad del Norte, Colombia), Jean-Luc Baeriswyl, and others who have pursued careers in academia, industry, and education.
His academic service includes leadership roles as Swiss representative at the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society (2014-2018), President of the Doctoral School of Applied Statistics and Probability (2010-2013), and Student Advisor for the Mathematics Section (2008-2015). His teaching portfolio includes Optimization with Applications I, Statistical Machine Learning, and Pharmaceutical Statistics and Methodology, reflecting his expertise in statistical methodology and its practical implementation.
