Opleidingen

  • PhD in Applied Mathematics
    University of Liège
    Thesis: (n − k)-convex optimization. - Found a sufficient condition for nonconvex nonlinear functions’ local optima to feature strong relationships on their location: the (n − 1)-convexity. - Extensive study of these functions through numerous mathematical proofs. - New convexifications for (n − k)-convex and biconvex problems, vastly tighter than state-of-the-art convexifications, for improved solving time. - New algorithms for general nonconvex problems by exploiting the relationships between optima. Technologies and tools: Julia, Python, C++, Perl, Git, Linux, various data visualization tools.
  • Master Software Engineer
    University of Liège
    2011
    Thesis: Implementation of a trust region method for industrial diagnostics. Predictive optimization for a galvanization process from historical high-dimensional data, for an automotive company. Software development in C++. Melchior Salier award for the best thesis in Software Engineering. Technologies and tools: C++, SQL, Cassandra NoSQL, Git, Linux, various data visualization tools.
