My general research interests include numerical optimization and scientific computation. In addition, I am interested in the application of optimization methods to medical, engineering, and financial problems. My current interests focus on solving nonlinear constrained problems

for which the gradient computation is expensive and inexact. These problems arise from many financial application problems.
