Daniel Berg Thomsen

I am a PhD student in the Sierra team (Inria, ENS Paris) under the supervision of Adrien Taylor , and SIMPAS (CMAP, École Polytechnique) under Aymeric Dieuleveut in Paris 🇫🇷

My research focuses on analyzing algorithms for distributed optimization. I make extensive use of Performance Estimation techniques (via PEPit ) and related tools to characterize and understand the behavior of optimization methods. More broadly, I advocate for computational approaches that both accelerate research and produce verifiable theoretical guarantees — using symbolic computation to derive certificates of validity.

Before I came to Paris I completed a master in Data Science at EPFL 🇨🇭

...and before that I completed a bachelor degree in Computer Science & Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology 🇸🇪
