Shengding Sun is a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics with a focus on Mathematics, particularly in Operations Research. He completed his PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization at Georgia Tech, USA, in August 2023, under the supervision of Gregory Blekherman and Santanu S. Dey. His research interests broadly encompass polynomial optimization, with a specific focus on extending aspects of semidefinite and mixed-integer combinatorial optimization. He has a keen interest in studying the underlying mathematical structures and geometries of optimization problems, seeking to elucidate the efficiency and performance of algorithms in practice. Following his doctoral studies, he worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Hamza Fawzi.
