At the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting in San Francisco, I will give two talks on Sunday, November 1: "Low-Rank SDP over Unbounded Domains via Hybrid Frank–Wolfe and Nonconvex Optimization" in the invited session "First-Order Methods for Semidefinite Programming" (8:00–9:15 AM), and "A Hybrid Sparse Augmented Lagrangian Method for Large-Scale Linear Programming" in the invited session "Recent Advances in Linear and Semidefinite Programming" (11:30–11:45 AM, Moscone South 215). I will also co-chair the latter session with my advisor Renato D.C. Monteiro.
