Biography

Miklos Z Racz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Northwestern University. He earned his PhD in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2015. His research interests lie broadly at the interface of probability, statistics, computer science, and information theory, with a particular focus on combinatorial statistics and discrete probability. Racz's work primarily addresses statistical inference questions related to large random discrete structures and random graphs. This includes investigating methods for inferring characteristics of randomly growing graphs, understanding latent geometries in high-dimensional random geometric graphs, graph matching problems in correlated random graphs, and community detection. He has also explored aspects of social networks, network dynamics, voting systems, sequence reconstruction, and DNA data storage.
