  Convex Optimization: From embedded real-time to large-scale distributed

  Convex optimization has emerged as useful tool for applications that include
  data analysis and model fitting, resource allocation, engineering design,
  network design and optimization, finance, and control and signal processing.
  After an overview, the talk will focus on two extremes: real-time embedded
  convex optimization, and distributed convex optimization. Code generation can
  be used to generate extremely efficient and reliable solvers for small
  problems, that can execute in milliseconds or microseconds, and are ideal for
  embedding in real-time systems. At the other extreme, we describe methods for
  large-scale distributed optimization, which coordinate many solvers to solve
  enormous problems.

  Stephen Boyd is the Samsung Professor of Engineering, and Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Management Science and Engineering.
  He received the A.B. degree in Mathematics from Harvard University in 1980, and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1985, and then joined the faculty at Stanford.
  His current research focus is on convex optimization applications in control, signal processing, machine learning, finance, and circuit design.

  Extending Care: A Conversation about Conservation and Futurity

  Block Museum of Art

  6:00 PM Block Museum of Art, Mary and Leigh

  EVENT DETAILSmore info

  The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts is a collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and materials science-related departments at Northwestern University to pursue objects-based and objects-inspired scientific research. Materials research benefits ongoing work in conservation, archaeology, art history, and curatorial scholarship.

  Learn how the Center uses materials research to care for art objects in sustainable, innovative ways with Maria Kokkori, Northwestern Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Senior Scientist in the Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts. She will be in conversation with Corey Byrnes, Northwestern Associate Professor of Chinese Culture and co-founder/co-director of the Environmental Humanities Workshop in Kaplan Humanities Center.

  This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with exhibition Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
