Nathan Krislock

Associate Professor

Education

Ph.D., University of Waterloo — Numerical Optimization

Research

Krislock’s research sits at the intersection of continuous and combinatorial optimization, focusing on semidefinite optimization and convex relaxations for hard combinatorial problems. His work on Euclidean distance matrices has produced results in wireless sensor network localization and protein structure determination. Krislock also works on sparse and low-rank optimization and large-scale numerical computation. He is the lead developer of BiqCrunch, a high-performance semidefinite branch-and-bound solver for binary quadratic optimization, and has published in Mathematical Programming, SIAM Journal on Optimization and the ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software.
