Xiangyuan Wang Ph.D. Student Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering University of Minnesota Email: wan02269@umn.edu

I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where I am advised by Professor Zhaosong Lu. I received my B.S. in Computational Mathematics from the School of Mathematical Sciences at University of Science and Technology of China.

Research Interests

• Theories and algorithms for minimax and hierarchical optimization
• Optimization methods for machine learning and data-driven applications

Publications

• A first-order method for nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems under a local Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz condition (with Zhaosong Lu), submitted.
