Background
I defended my PhD thesis on 20 October 2014, as a
F.R.S.-FNRS aspirant, in the department of electrical engineering and computer science (
Institute Montefiore) at the University of Liege, Belgium. I am affiliated to the systems and modeling research unit (
Systmod).
Prior to this, I graduated from
IIT Bombay, India in 2010 with a dual degree - Bachelors and Masters degrees - from the department of electrical engineering. My senior thesis project dealt with the Euclidean distance matrix completion problem.
Research Interests
My interest has been on nonlinear optimization and its applications. Particularly, I look at exploiting two fundamental structures, least-squares and symmetry, in nonlinear optimization. A specific focus has been on developing efficient numerical algorithms for large-scale problems with rank and orthogonality constraints. Do checkout the publications and the codes pages. I am also involved in the new Matlab toolbox
Manopt for optimization on manifolds.
