His research focuses in particular on the relationship between combi natorial structure and computational tractability\, and he co-organized a Simons Institute program advancing this direction. He is a member of MIT L IDS\, the Theory of Computation group\, the Center for Statistics\, FODSI\ , and IDSS\, and previously was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT with Davi d Gamarnik and Devavrat Shah after earning his PhD in EECS at UC Berkeley advised by David Tse\, following undergraduate studies in ECE at the Unive rsity of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign mentored by Bruce Hajek. Bresler a dvises students Kiril Bangachev\, Alina Harbuzova\, and Chenghao Guo (join t with Yury Polyanskiy)\, hosts postdoc Stefan Tiegel\, and has mentored a broad group of alumni now spanning academia and industry\, including facu lty at Yale\, UPenn\, Technion\, UC Davis\, and ENSAE/CREST\, as well as r esearchers at Google Research\; he also remembers with deep appreciation M atthew Brennan\, a beloved member of the group who passed away in 2021.\n CATEGORIES:Fellows Events,FDS Events,Statistics & Data Science Seminar LOCATION:Yale Institute for Foundations of Data Science\, Kline Tower 13th Floor\, Room 1327\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kline Tower 13th Floor\, Ro om 1327\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITL E=Yale Institute for Foundations of Data Science:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
