I am a PhD fellow at the Machine Learning Section of the University of Copenhagen with a focus on Unlearning, Robustness and Privacy. I am supervised by Prof. Amartya Sanyal and Prof. Amir Yehudayoff and part of the Foundations of Responsible Machine Learning Group (Cope-FoRML).

SODA 2026 Learning in an Echo Chamber: Online Learning with Replay Adversary
Daniil Dmitriev, Harald Eskelund Franck, Carolin Heinzler, Amartya Sanyal$^*$ | arXiv, 2025 | $^*\alpha\beta$-cal order

When models train on their own past guesses, mistakes can echo and mislead learning. We introduce a learning-theoretic setting that models this phenomenon: Online Learning in the Replay Setting. We introduce a combinatorial measure, the Extended Threshold dimension, which characterises learnability in this setting.

Master's thesis Adversarial Resilience against Clean-Label Attacks in Realizable and Noisy Settings
Carolin Heinzler | arXiv, 2024

We investigate the challenge of establishing stochastic-like guarantees when learning from a stream of i.i.d. data with clean-label adversarial samples. Introducing the notion of a clean-label adversary in the agnostic context, we are the first to give a theoretical analysis of a disagreement-based learner for thresholds.
