Optimization Meetings/Seminar Spring 2015

The optimization research group meets on a weekly basis to share and discuss current optimization research in the Applied Mathematics Unit here at UC Merced. In particular we have weekly seminar talks, where students and faculty present aspects of their research.

 
Our group meetings and seminar are led by Professors Roummel Marcia, Juan Meza and Noemi Petra and consist of graduate students, postdocs and faculty in the Applied Mathematics Unit.
