Research Interests

Meeting on Applied Algebraic Geometry (MAAG 2023):

With Abeer Al Ahmadieh, Anton Leykin and Josephine Yu I am organizing MAAG 2023 at Georgia Tech, April 15 2023, followed by Macaulay 2 day on April 16th.

Semidefinite Optimization and Convex Algebraic Geometry 

Pablo Parrilo, Rekha Thomas and I edited "Semidefinite Optimization and Convex Algebraic Geometry", which is now out as Volume 13 in SIAM Optimization Series. You can download a free pdf version of the book here.

Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO)

I am an associate director of the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) program at Georgia Tech.

SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry SI(AG)2

I currently serve as the chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry. Please join us for the SIAM AG23 Meeting!

SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry
