SHORT BIO

Iosif holds a PhD from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Professor Sotiris Sabanis. He has an undergraduate and a postgraduate degree from the Department of Mathematics of the NKUA. He has research experience around Langevin Monte Carlo algorithms and their applications in optimization and neural networks. His research has mainly focused on sampling from distributions where the log-gradient grows super-linearly. He has participated in the teaching of many undergraduate and postgraduate courses such as Probability, Infinite Calculus, Complex Analysis, Stochastic Analysis, Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations. He completed his 4-year undergraduate program in 3.5 years and graduated with honors in his undergraduate and graduate studies. During his PhD he was funded by the UK EPSRC throughout his studies.
