Boris Mordukhovich

Boris Mordukhovich is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Wayne State University, where he has held the title of Distinguished University Professor. He is a leading figure in Variational Analysis and Optimization, with a research focus on nonsmooth optimization, control theory, and convex analysis. His work extends to applications in robotics and energy modeling.

• Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Belarus State University, Minsk, Belarus (1973)

Boris's research integrates Variational Analysis with Optimization Algorithms, particularly in nonconvex and nonsmooth settings. His recent articles explore Second-Order Subdifferential Calculus, Globally Convergent Methods, and Stability Analysis in Banach spaces. Grants from the National Science Foundation and Australian Research Council support his work on variational systems and practical modeling.
