Biography

Jesus De Loera is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. He earned his Ph.D. in 1995 from Cornell University. His research interests lie primarily in discrete mathematics, optimization, and data science, with a particular focus on the applications of discrete computational geometry. His work explores important objects in these fields, particularly convex polytopes, which have been extensively studied since ancient Greek times. De Loera's research also intersects with algebraic geometry and presents significant implications for linear programming, probability, game theory, and various applied fields. He has authored numerous papers on topics such as the complexity of finding small triangulations of convex 3-polytopes and integer polynomial optimization across fixed dimensions. Furthermore, he has been recognized through various honors and awards, including being a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
