Pontus Giselsson

Pontus Giselsson is a Senior Lecturer and Director of Third Cycle Studies at Lund University's Department of Automatic Control (Faculty of Engineering). He also serves as a Senior Lecturer at ELLIIT (Linköping-Lund initiative on IT and mobile communication) and is a Profile Area Member in LTH's AI and Digitalization initiative. His research focuses on optimization algorithms for large-scale problems, particularly operator splitting methods and automated algorithm analysis. He leads projects funded by the Swedish Research Council and collaborates on initiatives like ICARUS for wireless communication systems.

His research interests include convex/nonconvex optimization, algorithm convergence analysis, and applications in machine learning, control systems, and statistical estimation. He develops frameworks for unifying operator splitting methods and tools for performance estimation of optimization algorithms. Notable projects include Model Predictive Control Stability Analysis and Bregman Optimization Algorithms.

Recent publications emphasize Lyapunov analysis, monotone inclusions, and frugal splitting operators. He has organized conferences such as the LCCC Focus Period on Large-Scale and Distributed Optimization. His work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications in engineering and computational mathematics.
