Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXiaopeng Li is an assistant professor at the School of AI, CUHK Shenzhen, with a PhD in Operations Research from Columbia and eight years of experience bridging continuous optimization theory and practical machine learning applications. His research combines semialgebraic geometry and ODE analysis to explain why first-order and momentum methods succeed in deep learning, and he has proven improved global convergence results while relaxing classical assumptions. Xiaopeng has strong industrial experience—solving large-scale nonconvex portfolio optimization at Citadel and developing scalable solvers and algorithms for stochastic MILP and transmission expansion at national labs. He has a track record of engineering impact, from integrating sparse direct solvers into large-scale LP interiors to implementing ADMM and progressive hedging in Python/Julia for HPC. Beyond theory and code, he runs an active optimization study group and enjoys translating deep mathematical insights into algorithms that yield measurable performance gains in real-world systems.
