Joining Us: Chris Jones

Chris studies theoretical computer science, with a focus on convex optimization, on random matrices, and on connections between theoretical computer science, pure mathematics, and statistical physics (e.g. sphere packing, spin glasses). Prior to coming to Davis, he was a postdoc at Bocconi University in Milan, and he received his Ph.D. in 2022 from the University of Chicago. Chris also likes designing crossword puzzles and puzzle hunts. On his days off, he likes to enjoy nature and swim in alpine lakes.
