Cyrus Cousins

Cyrus Cousins' research focuses on problems involving sampling, randomization, and learning in data science, with a particular interest in uniform convergence theory, and the rigorous treatment of fair machine learning. He is currently working with Yair Zick as a postdoctoral researcher under the CDS Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, and formerly served as a visiting assistant professor at Brown University under the Dean's Faculty Fellowship, where he also completed his doctoral studies under the tutelage of Eli Upfal. Cousins was awarded the Joukowsky Outstanding Dissertation Prize (in the physical sciences) for his dissertation, "Bounds and Applications of Concentration of Measure in Fair Machine Learning and Data Science." Before arriving at Brown University, he earned his undergraduate degree in computer science, mathematics, and biology from Tufts University.
