I am co-organizing an Optimization Workshop in Colombia (my home country). If you are a student interested in participating, please consider submitting a poster.
About #
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and the Mathematical Institute for Data Science with a secondary appointment in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. Before that, I was Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech hosted by Venkat Chandrasekaran and Joel Tropp. I obtained my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University advised by Damek Davis. I completed a MSc in Mathematics and two BS in Mathematics, and in Systems and Computing Engineering at Universidad de los Andes.
Research interests #
I am interested in the beautiful interplay between optimization, geometry, and statistics and its applications to data science, machine learning and signal processing.
Group #
I’m lucky to advice and learn from:
- Pedro Izquierdo Lehmann (AMS PhD),
- Abdel Ghani Labassi (AMS PhD),
- Daniel Lopez-Castaño (AMS PhD / Co-advised with Soledad Villar),
- Jonas Elmerraji (AMS DEng / Co-advised with James C. Spall),
- Fengsheng Lin (Data Science Masters),
- Yun You (Data Science Masters).
If you are interested in working with me: I prioritize students who have taken a class with me and I know before hand. Additionally, please make sure to contact me well in advance; I prefer to have at least a year to develop a project together.
