Reihaneh Malekian

I am a PhD candidate in Statistics at Columbia University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Sumit Mukherjee. I am on the 2026–27 postdoctoral and faculty job market. Before coming to Columbia, I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mathematics from Sharif University of Technology in Iran. My research lies broadly in probability and high-dimensional statistics, with particular interests in large deviations, random graphs and hypergraphs, Gibbs measures and interacting systems. More recently, my research has focused on robust statistical inference for network data and dependent observations.
