Associate Professor
Lund University (Sweden)
Pontus Giselsson is Associate Professor at the Department of Automatic Control at Lund University, and organizer of the ELLIIT focus period on Optimization for learning.
His research focuses on optimization, with particular emphasis on principled methodologies for algorithm analysis and design. Although many optimization methods are still studied on a case-by-case basis, their analyses often exhibit strong common structure. His work seeks to capture these similarities through unified frameworks and automated tools for systematically analyzing, designing, and improving algorithms, with rigorous convergence guarantees.
