Begoña García Malaxechebarría

Third year PH.D. student at University of Washington

I am a Ph.D. student and Predoctoral Teaching Associate at the Department of Mathematics, University of Washington. I completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics at Universidad de Murcia in 2021, supervised by Ángel Ferrández Izquierdo. My current research focuses on analyzing and scaling limits of stochastic algorithms for large-scale problems in data science. I employ tools from convex and nonsmooth optimization, high-dimensional probability, and statistics. I work closely with my advisor, Dmitriy Drusvyatskiy, and my mentor, Courtney Paquette.
