Arkadi Nemirovski (born March 14, 1947) is a professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.[3] He has been a leader in continuous optimization and is best known for his work on the ellipsoid method, modern interior-point methods and robust optimization.[4]

Biography

Arkadi Nemirovski earned the Ph.D. in Mathematics (1974) from Moscow State University and the Doctor of Sciences in Mathematics (1990) from the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev. He has won three prestigious prizes: Fulkerson, Dantzig, and von Neumann (2003).[5] He was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 2017 "for the development of efficient algorithms for large-scale convex optimization problems." [6]

Academic work

His work with Yurii Nesterov in the 1994 book[7] is the first to point out that interior point method can solve convex optimization problems, and the first to make a systematic study of semidefinite programming (SDP). Also in this book, they introduced the self-concordant functions which are useful in the analysis of Newton's method.[8]
