There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Diego CifuentesAssistant Professor Diego Cifuentes joined the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) on July 1, 2021. His research centers around the development of mathematical optimization methods and the application of these methods in engineering areas such as machine learning, statistics, robotics, power systems, and computer vision. He also works in the theoretical analysis of optimization methods, leveraging geometric and combinatorial information to improve efficiency and robustness.
Prior to ISyE, Cifuentes served as an applied math instructor at MIT and as a postdoctoral researcher in the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences.
He earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT, and his B.S. in mathematics and B.S. in electronics engineering from Universidad de los Andes.
