Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Borchers is a professor of mathematics and long‑time department chair at New Mexico Tech with 19+ years of academic experience and a PhD from Rensselaer, specializing in computational and convex optimization. He has a strong track record applying optimization and inverse‑problem techniques to earth sciences, partnering with geophysicists and hydrologists on parameter estimation. Creator of the widely used CSDP semidefinite programming package, he combines deep theory in convex and semidefinite programming with practical software engineering dating back to early embedded and systems work. He regularly teaches linear and nonlinear programming, inverse problems, time series, and mathematical modeling, and is notable for bridging rigorous regularization of ill‑posed problems with hands‑on scientific collaborations.
