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
