We warmly welcome our new faculty member, Professor Afonso Bandeira. He was appointed by the ETH Board in May 2019.
Professor Afonso Bandeira (*1988), Associate Professor at New York University, USA, has been appointed as Full Professor of Mathematics.
Afonso Bandeira’s research reaches a wide international audience and focuses on the interfaces between optimisation, information theory and data science. He has a broad range of interests, including phase retrieval in signal processing, community detection in networks, and the statistical properties of matrix and tensor deformations. With the appointment of Afonso Bandeira, the Department of Mathematics is strengthening the intradepartmental links between the research areas of statistics, optimisation and numerical mathematics.
