Nicolas Loizou (The University of Edinburgh)

I am a PhD student at The University of Edinburgh in School of Mathematics. More specifically I am a member of the Operational Research and Optimization Group (ERGO) under the supervision of Dr. Peter Richtarik. Before I moved to Edinburgh I spent 4 beautiful years in Athens as undergraduate student in department of Mathematics at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and 1 year as postgraduate student at Imperial College London where I obtained an MSc in Computing (Computational Management Science). My research interests include (but are not limited to): Large Scale Optimization, Randomized numerical linear algebra, Machine Learning, Convex Analysis, Randomized and Distributed Algorithms

Sijia Liu received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China, in 2008 and 2011, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree (with All University Doctoral Prize) in electrical and computer engineering from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, USA, in 2016. He is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. His research interests include resource management in wireless sensor networks, optimization for machine learning, graph signal processing, and information fusion. He received the Best Student Paper Award (third place) at the 42nd IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) in 2017. He was among the seven finalists of the Best Student Paper Award at the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers in 2013. He was the winner of the Nunan research poster competition at Syracuse University in 2012.
