Faculty
Dr. Sebastian Stich ist Tenured Faculty am CISPA Helmholtz-Zentrum für Informationssicherheit. Seit Juni 2020 ist er Mitglied des European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems. Vom 1. Dezember 2016 bis zum 30. November 2021 war er Forscher an der EPFL unter der Leitung von Prof. Martin Jaggi im Machine Learning and Optimization Laboratory (MLO). Vom 1. November 2014 bis 31. Oktober 2016 arbeitete er mit Prof. Yurii Nesterov und Prof. François Glineur am Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) und am ICTEAM. Vom 15. September 2010 bis 30. September 2014 war er Doktorand in der Forschungsgruppe von Prof. Emo Welzl, betreut von Prof. Bernd Gärtner und Christian Lorenz Müller. Von September 2005 bis März 2010 absolvierte er seinen Bachelor und Master in Mathematik an der ETH Zürich.
