I’m Robert Ravier

I am an applied mathematician, but I prefer the term computational scientist.

I was trained as an undergrad by Bob Strichartz at Cornell, and I received my PhD under the guidance of Ingrid Daubechies at Duke.

I currently work with Vahid Tarokh as a postdoc in Duke University’s Electrical Engineering department.

My primary motivations concern applied problems, and I spend a lot of time in this end framing my work around evolutionary biology, partisan gerrymandering, and problems related to time-varying scenarios. From a mathematical perspective, I think a lot about

• Data Driven Online Optimization
• Geometry and its Applications in Data Science
• Statistics for Shape Data
• Foundational Language for Mathematical and Scientific Problems

But there’s always more ideas brewing, so if you’d want to work with me or hire me, let’s talk.
