Chair
Jonathan Borwein, The University of Newcastle
[Show/Hide Bio]
|
Jonathan Borwein is Laureate Professor at the University of Newcastle
(NSW) with adjunct appointments at Dalhousie and Simon Fraser
Universities in Canada. He directs the Newcastle Priority Research
Centre in Computer
Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA).
Dr. Borwein was Shrum Professor of Science (1993-2003) and a Canada
Research Chair in Information Technology (2001-04) at Simon Fraser
University. From 2004-09 he was a Canada Research Chair in Distributed
and Collaborative Research in Computer Science at Dalhousie. His
interests span pure (analysis), applied (optimization), computational
(numerical and computational analysis) mathematics, and high performance
computing. He has authored 300 research articles and over a dozen
books---most recently several on Experimental Mathematics,
Springer monographs on Convex Analysis and Nonsmooth Optimization
and Techniques of Variational Analysis, and a forthcoming CUP
Encyclopedia volume on Convex
Functions and their applications. His current optimization research
focuses on signal reconstruction.

Secretary
Regina Burachik, University of South Australia
[Show/Hide Bio]
|
|
Regina Burachik is an Associate Professor at University of South Australia, and publishes extensively in topics such as nonsmooth/convex/nonconvex optimization, variational
inequalities, and multivalued analysis. Recently she published the research-level book: "Set-Valued Analysis and Monotone Mappings". Her interest is in both theoretical and
practical aspects of optimization. She worked on solution methods for variational inequalities, which include pioneer advancements on the theory of maximal monotone operators, such
as the introduction of the notion of an "enlargement of a maximal monotone operator". Her work on convex analysis includes the introduction of a new constraint qualification,
called "closed epigraph condition". These concepts had a strong impact, both in theory and applications.

|
|
Andrew Eberhard is a Professor of Mathematics at RMIT University in Melbourne (Victoria). He is the head of the university research grouping ''System Modelling and
Optimization". He has been leader of the "Optimization and Control Scholarship Group" within the school of Mathematical and Geospatial Sciences for several years. He has
worked and published extensively in many area of variational analysis and his interests include the theory of variational limits, nonsmooth optimization, in particular optimality
conditions and second order theory, the theory of viscosity solution of Hessian and curvature equations, robust control and systems theory. More recently he has work on utility
function approximation and the theory of revealed preferences in relation to generalised equilibrium models in economic theory and has a growing interest in integer programming and
algorithms.
