About
My research focuses on primal techniques for large-scale optimization. Specifically, I have been exploring the full optimization spectrum that goes from using optimization solvers to using optimization proxies. The full spectrum can be decomposed into four overlapping perspectives: solver (commercial, open-source, etc.), metaheuristics (local search, simulated annealing, etc.), exact (decompositions, branch-and-price, etc.), and learning (supervised, unsupervised, etc.).
