Zaiwen Wen

Wen Zaiwen, Professor at Peking University. He mainly studies optimization algorithms and theory and their applications in machine learning. Recently, he has contributed on algorithms for nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization. Together with his coauthors, a class of semi-smooth Newton methods is developed, and a framework on proving global convergence and R-superlinear local convergence with high probability is established. Two textbooks including "Optimization: Modeling, Algorithms and Theory" were published in 2021. They have been widely used by majors related to mathematics, statistics, data science, artificial intelligence in more than 100 universities. He was awarded the China Youth Science and Technology Award in 2016 and Beijing Outstanding Youth Zhongguancun Award in 2020. He was funded by the National Ten Thousand Talents Program for Science and Technology Innovation. He is an associate editor of "Communications in Mathematics and Statistics", "Journal of the Operations Research Society of China", "Journal of Computational Mathematics" and a technical editor of "Mathematical Programming Computation".
