DMS Assistant Professor Roberto Molinari received NSF funding as co-PI for the project "Simulation-Based Inference for Differential Privacy" (PI: J Awan, Purdue). The project aims at delivering the first general statistical tools to perform estimation and inference within differentially private mechanisms which are increasingly being adopted in the private sector (e.g., Google, Meta) and recently by the US Census 2020. Among others, the tools developed in this project will be used by Dr. Soren Jordan (Department of Political Science at AU) to study political representation in the US through privatized US Census data.

Congrats, Rob!
