About

Jacob M. Aguirre is an Operations Research Ph.D. student in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. Prior to joining ISyE,
Jacob was a B.S./M.S. student in economics and mathematics.

His research interests lie in the area of continuous optimization and complexity of algorithms. More specifically, he is interested in the theory, complexity analysis, and implementation of algorithms for solving large-scale linear programming, convex quadratic programming, semidefinite programming, variational inequalities, and general nonlinear programming. Additionally, he is interested in computational optimization and the development of fast numerical codes for solving large-scale optimization problems. 

Aguirre's research is supported by fellowships and awards through the National Science Foundation GRFP, Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology, GEM PhD Fellowship, amongst others.
