Nocedal was recognized for his fundamental work in nonlinear optimization The article reads:
“Northwestern Engineering’s Jorge Nocedal has been awarded the 2024 John von Neumann Prize, the highest honor bestowed by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
Nocedal, Walter P. Murphy Professor of Industrial Engineering and Management and director of the Center for Optimization and Statistical Learning, was recognized for his fundamental work in nonlinear optimization, both in the deterministic and stochastic settings. As part of the prize, Nocedal will deliver the flagship lecture on July 9 at SIAM’s 2024 annual meeting.
“I am very excited to receive such a prestigious award,” Nocedal said. “Optimization is everywhere. It drives weather forecasts and creates machine learning models. I am very happy to see that my algorithms and software are used in dozens of disciplines, including many outside science and engineering.”
