ESD Research Seminar by Antonio Frangioni – Professor Antonio Frangioni will summarise some of the main lines of his research in this seminar, emphasising how he is primarily driven by the desire of solving real-world, difficult optimisation problems.

ESD Research Seminar by Georgina Hall – This talk will demonstrate the usefulness of t-sos submodularity through three applications: (i) a new convex approach to submodular regression, involving minimal manual tuning; (ii) a systematic procedure to derive lower bounds on the submodularity ratio in approximate submodular maximisation, and (iii) improved difference-of-submodular decompositions for difference-of-submodular optimisation.

ESD Research Seminar by Xi Ning – This talk will study a class of the semiparametric Cox-Aalen transformation models for regression analysis.

ESD Research Seminar by Marek Gluza – Dr Marek Gluza will explore what is likely to make up the disruption caused by quantum computing, how it will come about and when (or actually whether) it will happen.

ESD Research Seminar by Thiparat Chotibut – Designing scalable quantum machine learning (QML) models with potential quantum advantage on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices remains a major challenge.

ESD Research Seminar by Xingran Chen – In this seminar, we investigate an adversarial threat termed the “Pac-Man” attack, in which a malicious node probabilistically terminates any random walk (RW) that visits it.

Vincent Leon (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) – Limited-Trust in Diffusion of Competing Alternatives Over Social Networks & Apurv Shukla (Texas A&M University) – Differentially Private Online Resource Allocation

ESD Research Seminar by Can Berk Saner (aka John) – This talk examines accommodating large-scale EV penetration by managing charging and converting EVs from demanding loads into useful grid assets.
