I serve as an advisor for undergraduate and graduate student research. Below are my selected students joining my research projects with their achievements. 

I - STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA

Currently, I don't have students joining my research projects at the University of North Dakota (UND).  If you are a graduate or an undergraduate student at UND with strong background in analysis and would like to begin doing research in the area of optimization and variational analysis, you can contact me. If you are outside of USA and are interested in pursuing research in optimization and variational analysis under my supervision, you can apply for our graduate program using this link.
