Bio

Jasin received the B.Sc. degree in Industrial Engineering and the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology with a major in Communication and Sensor Technology from Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) in 2016 and 2019, respectively.

He spent one year of his master’s studies (2016/2017) at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA).

His bachelor’s and master’s theses deal with robust and adaptive regression for linear and sparse models and robust and adaptive statistical learning for high-dimensional data, respectively.

In September 2019, he started his doctoral studies at TU Darmstadt. From September 2019 until February 2020 and from May 2023 until August 2023, he visited Prof. Daniel P. Palomar at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. From May 2022 until July 2022, he visited Prof. Frédéric Pascal at Université Paris-Saclay (CentraleSupélec). In 2022, he completed the Statistical Genomics Summer Course at University of Oxford.

Jasin is a founding member of the EURASIP Student Committee and represents the area Theoretical and Methodological Trends in Signal Processing (TMTSP).

Research

Jasin’s research interests lie in the broad field that is often called statistical learning, machine learning, data science, or statistical signal processing. He is particularly interested in developing methods/algorithms for large-scale and high-dimensional learning tasks with provable statistical properties.

The following topics are of great interest to him:

  1. Sparse regression in high-dimensional settings
  2. False discovery rate (FDR) control in variable/feature selection
  3. Methods for genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
  4. Parallel computing on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
