Bio

Portrait dogs?

I am Anastasios Nikolas Angelopoulos, a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am privileged to be advised by Michael I. Jordan and Jitendra Malik. From 2016 to 2019, I was an electrical engineering student at Stanford University advised by Gordon Wetzstein and Stephen P. Boyd. A copy of my CV is available below.

Research interests

Theoretical statistics + black-box machine learning models. How can we do statistics with ML in the loop, and no assumptions on the model at all? I'm especially interested in simple, easy-to-use algorithms with formal mathematical validity guarantees. Much of my work has centered around conformal prediction and prediction-powered inference. Building the bridge between modern AI and statistics feels important and fun to me.

Computer vision, computational imaging, biomedicine. My research career began in imaging and clinical medicine, and these are still my greatest motivations. I seek to build computational and statistical systems that change the way we understand the human body and treat diseases. End-to-end approaches involving automatic vision-based reconstruction, recognition, and decision-making often excite me most.

Music. I sing, play the guitar/piano/bass, produce, and frequently record music with my friends. Please reach out if you want to jam!

Awards

I am generously supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and a Berkeley Fellowship. At Stanford I was a National Merit Scholar and received the Terman Award, Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, and departmental distinction. In a past life I was a national champion debater and member of the US National Debate Team.
