What we are interested in
We research and develop algorithms for continuous optimization, with a particular emphasis on solving high-dimensional optimization problems with first-order methods. We prove convergence rates and guarantees for a variety of settings, such as: Conditional gradient aka Frank-Wolfe methods, which perform constrained optimization by accessing the feasible set via a linear optimization oracle. Proximal methods, which yield efficient algorithms for nonsmooth optimization and practically reshape smooth ones. Online learning algorithms which consist of playing a sequential game in which the algorithms predict and receive a loss in an online way and try to minimize overall regret; they have numerous applications to optimization via reductions. Accelerated methods which combine online learning tools with other optimization techniques to exploit and improve convergence of other more simple algorithms, often to optimality. And block-iterative algorithms which leverage parallelism and distributed computation for faster algorithmic performance.

🔬 Projects
Ongoing Projects
We will investigate mixed-integer optimization with convex objectives using error-adaptive convex solvers in branch-and-bound. Focusing on improving lower bounds and balancing computational costs, we aim to develop a faster branch-and-bound methodology by leveraging modern MILP techniques and error-adaptive methods. Key aspects include warm-starting and controlled inexactness in early termination.
Motivated by nonsmooth problems in machine learning, we solve the problem of minimizing an abs-smooth function subject to closed convex constraints. New theory and algorithms are developed using linear minimization oracles to enforce constraints and abs-linearization methods to handle nonsmoothness.
Completed Projects
We develop theory and algorithms for 0-1 decision making in optimization problems constrained by partial differential equations. By exploring extended formulations, we achieve new stationarity concepts through sequential exact and approximative relaxation of adjoint-based primal-dual optimality conditions.
In this project, we study algorithms that promote sparsity. We develop PageRank optimization algorithms that scale with solution sparsity and investigate Riemannian optimization using manifold geometry. Additionally, we develop algorithms for efficient fair resource allocation based on established fairness axioms.
Worst-case complexity bounds are increasingly insufficient to explain the (often superior) real-world performance of optimization and learning algorithms. We consider data-dependent rates, approximation guarantees, and complexity bounds to provide guarantees much more in line with actual performance.
