معرفی
Mirjam Dür is a Full Professor (W3) at the Department of Discrete Mathematics, Optimization and Operations Research within the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology at the University of Augsburg (since 2017). Previously, she held Full Professor positions at the University of Trier (2011-2017) and other academic roles in Groningen, Darmstadt, and Vienna. Her research focuses on mathematical optimization, particularly copositive programming, quadratic optimization, matrix theory, and conic optimization.
- Born in Vienna, Austria
- M.Sc. in Mathematics (1996) and PhD in Applied Mathematics (1999) from University of Trier
- Positive Habilitation evaluation at TU Darmstadt (2005)
Research Interests:
Global optimization, quadratic and combinatorial optimization, conic optimization and matrix theory, copositive programming, and applications to graph theory and discrete problems. She has pioneered methods like factorization-based approaches for completely positive matrices and cutting plane techniques in copositive programming.
Scientific Awards:
