Professor at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne
Boumal is a lead-developer of the award-winning toolbox Manopt, which facilitates experimentation with optimization on manifolds. He also wrote the book “An introduction to optimization on smooth manifolds” published by Cambridge University Press in 2023.
Nicolas Boumal is Professor of Mathematics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, and an Associate Editor of the journal Mathematical Programming. His research focuses on optimization, statistical estimation and numerical analysis. Over the course of his career, Boumal has contributed to several modern theoretical advances in Riemannian optimization.
He created this course for graduate students at Princeton University in 2019, then later developed the contents into a book, and recorded the lectures at EPFL.
