Chair of Continuous Optimization

The Chair of Continuous Optimization (OPTIM) at EPFL focuses on studying the theory and applications of optimization, with a current emphasis on geometry and non-convexity. Their research intersects with computational sciences, machine learning, statistics, and robotics. OPTIM is part of the Institute of Mathematics at EPFL, offering student projects related to optimization, including those involving Riemannian manifolds. The group encourages independent work and learning, with weekly progress meetings and a focus on mutual learning between students and researchers.
