I teach courses in linear and nonlinear optimization and game theory. My research interests are in algorithms for linear and convex programming, particularly semidefinite programming. I am interested in developing and analyzing interior-point methods; previous research interests include homotopy methods, probabilistic analysis of pivoting methods, and extensions of complementary pivoting ideas to oriented matroids.
