Research Interests

I am broadly interested in nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems. More specifically, my primary research interests revolve around optimization problems with a hierarchical structure; in particular, I have worked extensively on two-level optimization problems commonly known as bilevel programming problems. These problems, which involve two levels of decision making, respectively controlled by a leader and a follower, represent a powerful tool for modelling the interactions between various engineering, economic, and human systems. The most recent surveys on bilevel optimization and related challenges can be found in our new book here.
