Jessica Maghakian

Academic department: Doctoral student, Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS)
Departmental advisor:  Zhenhua Liu

Maghakian works on optimization algorithms that are required to make decisions in real-time, with imperfect knowledge of the future. As real-time optimization becomes more widespread in application areas such as the smart grid and self-driving vehicles, reliable algorithms with theoretical performance guarantees will become a necessity.
