Clément L. Canonne is currently a Motwani Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. He graduated from
Columbia University
in 2017, where his advisor was
Rocco Servedio.
His research focuses on the fields of property testing and sublinear algorithms;
specifically, on understanding the strengths and limitations of the standard
models in property and distribution testing, as well as in related areas.
He also really likes elephants.
