The manuscript titled A Lyapunov analysis of Korpelevich’s extragradient method with fast and flexible extensions has been accepted for publication in the journal Mathematical Programming.

The manuscript titled The Chambolle-Pock method converges weakly with θ>1/2\theta > 1/2 and τσ‖L‖2<4/(1+2θ)\tau\sigma\lVert L \rVert^2 < 4/(1+2\theta) has been accepted for publication in the journal Op­ti­mi­za­tion Letters.

I successfully defended my PhD thesis. Many thanks to my opponent, Bartolomeo Stellato, and to the examining committee: Tony Stillfjord, Ion Necoara, and Masoud Ahookhosh.

I will visit the Sierra team at Inria Paris from September 2024 until February 2025.

The manuscript titled Auto­mated tight Lyapunov analysis for first-order meth­ods has been accepted for publication in the journal Mathematical Programming.

I am excited to announce that I am co-organizing the 21st conference on advances in continuous op­ti­mi­za­tion (EUROPT 2024), set to take place in Lund, Sweden, from June 26 to 28, 2024. For more details, visit the conference website.
