| Applied and computational mathematics | Randomized linear algebra for data analysis and complex simulations | Prof. Laura Grigori | This PhD will focus on randomization for numerical linear algebra operations arising in large scale numerical simulations and data analysis problems. Randomization is a compelling technique that relies on dimensionality reduction for solving large scale problems that are out of reach by deterministic methods.

| Applied and computational mathematics | Non-convex optimization: landscapes, algorithms, complexity and geometry | Prof. Nicolas Boumal | We study theory and algorithms for continuous optimization, especially in non-convex settings. Accordingly, we aim to leverage other types of beneficial structure, such as symmetry and geometry. We aim to understand why existing algorithms behave better or worse than one might expect, and we try to find even better algorithms — or proof that none exists. Often times, randomness in the data or in the algorithm plays an important role. This type of research involves a combination of mathematical skills spanning numerical analysis, differential geometry, complexity theory, graph theory, matrix analysis, probability and much more.
