Research Interests

Main area of research is optimization, with applications in machine learning, engineering design, and power systems. Research activities range from the design of new algorithms, to their software implementation and mathematical analysis. Areas of emphasis include large scale problems (with millions of variables), optimization under uncertainty, and parallel computing.
