Welcome! I’m Mohammed Sabri, a researcher in theoretical machine learning and statistics. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher (STAT/01) in the the Department of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (host: Prof. Rosanna Verde); I received my PhD there in December 2024. My work develops statistical learning methods for sustainability and climate risk, with interests in high-dimensional classification, functional data, and optimal transport.
