Aleksandr Aravkin

I am Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Director of Mathematical Sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. At IHME, my team leads development and applications of mathematical tools for global health applications, together with software implementations. We work closely with domain scientists to understand emerging challenge and to conduct large-scale analyses using new tools. In Applied Mathematics, I work on developing and analyzing new optimization algorithms, which are key tools for statistical and epidemiological models as well as for machine learning and data science.
