Dr. Mariano Beguerisse Díaz
Mariano is a senior research fellow in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. His primary research interest is developing mathematical methods for the tractable representation of complex data systems. In particular, he is interested in directed networks, network inference, dynamics on/of networks, temporal networks, and going from meta-data to full-data descriptions. He develops […]
Prof. Coralia Cartis
Assoc. Prof. Cartis’ research is on optimization, algorithm development, analysis and implementation for a variety of problem classes (linear, convex, nonconvex, smooth/nonsmooth, stochastic), suitable for large scale. In the past few years, her research focused on complexity of nonconvex optimization problems; compressed sensing; parameter estimation for climate modelling. Currently, she is investigating optimization methods for […]
