My main research interest is the theoretical side of Machine Learning. I investigate possible connections between Statistical Learning Theory and Convex Geometry. It turns out that those seemingly different topics are well related, and in fact, it is possible to apply some of the advanced machinery of Convex Geometry to solve fundamental problems which arise naturally in Learning Theory.
