I am a PhD student in Stochastic analysis, obsessing over Deep Learning. My research focuses on diffusion approximations aka stochastic modified equations for stochastic gradient descent and other stochastic optimization methods. I used to be mostly interested in category theory. While I don`t plan on doing research in that area any time soon I think the fairly new field of applied category theory looks fascinating. I wrote a song about Gauss, which you can listen to here:
