Arkadi Nemirovski (Russian: Аркадий Немировский; born March 14, 1947) is a professor at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.cite-ref-5[5] He has been a leader in continuous optimization and is best known for his work on the ellipsoid method, modern interior-point methods and robust optimization.cite-ref-6[6]

Biography

Nemirovski earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1974 from Moscow State University and a Doctor of Sciences in Mathematics degree in 1990 from the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev. He has won three prestigious prizes: the Fulkerson Prize, the George B. Dantzig Prize, and the John von Neumann Theory Prize.cite-ref-isye-7-0[7] He was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in 2017 "for the development of efficient algorithms for large-scale convex optimization problems",cite-ref-8[8] and the U.S National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 2020.cite-ref-9[9] In 2023, Nemirovski and Yurii Nesterov were jointly awarded the 2023 WLA Prize in Computer Science or Mathematics "for their seminal work in convex optimization theory, including the theory of self-concordant functions and interior-point methods, a complexity theory of optimization, accelerated gradient methods, and methodological advances in robust optimization."cite-ref-10[10]

Academic work

Nemirovski first proposed mirror descent along with David Yudin in 1983.cite-ref-11[11]

His work with Yurii Nesterov in their 1994 bookcite-ref-12[12] is the first to point out that the interior point method can solve convex optimization problems, and the first to make a systematic study of semidefinite programming (SDP). Also in this book, they introduced the self-concordant functions which are useful in the analysis of Newton's method.cite-ref-13[13]
