Sungho Shin

Sungho Shin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He leads the Shin Group, focusing on mathematical optimization, control theory, machine learning, and high-performance computing for applications in process systems engineering and energy systems.

• Education: PhD in Chemical Engineering (University of Wisconsin-Madison), B.S. in Mathematics and Chemical Engineering (Seoul National University)
• Postdoc: Argonne National Laboratory (Mathematics and Computer Science Division)

His research addresses scalable algorithms for decision-making in complex systems, GPU computing for nonlinear optimization, data-driven control methods, and decarbonization of energy systems through modeling, optimization, and software development. His group has produced award-winning publications, including the 2022 Outstanding Paper Award from Mathematical Programming Computation.

Key software contributions include MadNLP.jl (GPU-accelerated nonlinear programming solver) and ExaModels.jl (graph-structured optimization modeling). His team maintains local computing resources for GPU development, including NVIDIA GV100 and AMD Radeon VII systems.
