Roman Vershynin studies high-dimensional probability theory and its applications to data. His High-Dimensional Probability by Roman Vershynin develops tools including concentration inequalities, random-matrix estimates and generic chaining, which turn geometry and independence into bounds that hold simultaneously over many directions.[ref]
A representative question is how many random observations are needed to preserve information about a high-dimensional object. Controlling one fixed direction is easier than controlling every direction at once, so the geometry of a whole family of directions becomes part of the probability calculation. His research page describes this connection between probability and mathematical data science; his author-hosted expository work also treats geometric methods for constrained estimation.[ref][ref]
