I was chair of the
Society for the Foundations of Computational
Mathematics for 2005--2008, and co-managing editor (with
Felipe Cucker)
for its journal
for 2011-2014.
I was chair of the
SIAM Activity Group on Optimization for
2011--2014.

Northwestern University.

list of OR and related sites.

extensive home page.

Steve Wright.

Two semidefinite programming sites: the
first by
Farid Alizadeh and the
second
by Christoph Helmberg; see also the
papers
on eigenvalue optimization and semidefinite programming by
Michael Overton.
The pages of Wright and Helmberg contain links to people working in
the field, here and here.
The output of Jon Kleinberg's program on "+semidefinite+programming"
is here.
When Fermat's Last Theorem was proved (by a fellow of my old college,
Clare,
in Cambridge), I wondered whether it held for integer symmetric
matrices also. See Fermatlab.
And some less academic sites:
My wife Marina was Director of Creative Services at
Ithaca College.
Our son Jonathan got
married on June 2, 2001. (Check out the photos
here,
particularly photo 1, and
here,
particularly photos 4 and 9.)
He and his wife Jen are living in South Burlington, VT, where
she is a pediatric endocrinologist at the
University of Vermont Medical Center and he
teaches at
Champlain Valley Union High School.
Our granddaughter Julia is a brilliant student at South Burlington High School,
where she competes on the Varsity dance team. They won the state
championships, but unfortunately lost at the New England regional
championships. Two videos can be viewed here:
pom and
hip hop.
I spent the 94-95 academic year visiting
the University of Washington and
MIT.
I spent the fall of 2001 visiting the
Cowles Foundation
for Research in Economics at Yale and
Mathematical
Sciences at IBM.
I spent the spring of 2009 at the
Engineering Sciences Department
at the University of Auckland and the fall visiting the
Fields Institute in Toronto.
In 1991, I saw someone walking around with a t-shirt advertising
a recent Danzig tour. The back read "Danzig -- the long way"; I still regret
not tearing it off his back! The tour was called the
Long Way Back From Hell
Tour.
Jonathan has a
paper published in the
Fibonacci Quarterly
based on his undergraduate work at
Williams College with
Ed Burger.
My cousin
Kim Binsted
works at the University of Hawaii on computational astrobiology and
computer-generated jokes, among other things.
Restaurants1,
restaurants2 in Ithaca, and
local wineries in the
Finger Lakes.
Two motorcycle links: the
Cayuga Curmudgeons (see a picture of my
1978 Ducati Darmah,
and Karen Aardal on my old faithful
1958 BMW R69)
and Euro-Moto.
