Criado Gallart, Francisco
PhD: Technische Universität Berlin
Biography
Francisco Criado is Assistant Professor on Tenure Truck in the Department of Mathematics an CUNEF Universidad He earned a Double Bachelor in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2015 with the best academic record in his class. He then pursued an MSc in Mathematics and Computation at the Universidad of Cantabria (2016) and another in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Oxford (2017). He received his PhD magna cum laude at TU Berlin in 2020. Up until August 2022, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Zuse-Institut Berlin studying first order methods in optimization.
His resarch interests span discrete geometry, combinatorial optimization, and tropical geometry. He has numerous publications in discrete mathematics journals, as well as international prestigious conferences, like NeuroIPS. He is currently supervising a PhD thesis on the lonely runner zonotopes and the complexity of the convex hull of quadrics.
