معرفی
Alex Black is currently a Hermann Weyl Instructor at ETH Zurich, focusing on algebraic and geometric combinatorics and optimization. He will join Bowdoin College as a tenure-track assistant professor in the mathematics department starting Fall 2025. His research emphasizes the simplex method and its applications in optimization and polytope theory.
Black’s research explores the interplay between algebraic and geometric combinatorics, with a particular focus on optimization and the simplex method. His work addresses topics such as polytopes, matroid theory, and pivot rules, aiming to advance understanding in discrete and computational geometry. He investigates issues like exponential lower bounds for pivot rules, monotone paths on polytopes, and the structure of flag polymatroids.
