Guy Bresler

Guy Bresler is the Bonnie and Marty (1964) Tenenbaum Career Development Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. He is a member of the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), the Statistics and Data Science Center (SDSC), and the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS). Previously, he was a postdoc at MIT and before that received his PhD from the Department of EECS at UC Berkeley and a BS in ECE at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research aims to obtain engineering insight into practically relevant problems by formulating and solving mathematical models. Concretely, he wants to understand the relationship between combinatorial structure and computational tractability of high-dimensional inference in the context of graphical models and other statistical models, recommendation systems, and biology.
