Laurent Condat
I am a senior researcher working in optimization, in the group of Prof. Peter Richtárik.
Biography
I got my PhD in 2006 from Grenoble Inst. of Tech., Grenoble, France. After 2 years as a postdoc in Munich, Germany, I was recruited as a permanent researcher by the CNRS in 2008. I spent 4 years in the GREYC, Caen, and 7 years in GIPSA-Lab, Grenoble. From 2016 to 2019, I was a member of the French National Committee for Scientific Research (CoNRS, Section 7). Since Nov. 2019, I am on leave from the CNRS and a senior researcher at KAUST.
