My main research interest is Optimization, theory and practice, in the broad sense. I have notably worked or being
interested in:
- Calculus of variations · Convex analysis
- Global optimization · Clustering methods · Global optimality conditions · Anti-convex problems (concave minimization, dc programming)
- Operations research · Numerical optimization · SDP relaxations of nonconvex combinatorial problems
During my PhD I worked on optimization problems arising in Statistics, which led my to get interested also in:
- Robust statistics · High breakdown-point estimators
- Computational statistics
