Summer 2016: Optimization Program Summer School: August 8-12, 2016

Application: To register, please click on this link and submit a CV, a transcript (if you are a student), and a statement of interest. A letter of recommendation must be submitted by your advisor. Notifications of acceptance will be sent in July 2016.

The application deadline is June 8, 2016.

The Summer School will introduce graduate students and early-career researchers in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences to the mathematical and statistical approaches in Optimization, and their applications.

Each day will be devoted to a specific topic. Topics under consideration include: E/M & M/M algorithms; statistical and mathematical inverse problems; optimization under uncertainty; convex and semidefinite optimization; robust optimization, sparse regression, and stochastic gradient descent; mixed integer, linear & nonlinear optimization; and PDE-constrained optimization. Applications to be considered include: machine learning; image & signal processing; and compressed sensing.

This summer school will be held at the Hamner Confererence Center in Research Triangle Park, NC.
