Gesualdo Scutari works on decentralized and distributed optimization, developing algorithms that let networks of computing agents (such as sensors or devices connected in a graph, with no central coordinator) jointly solve large optimization problems efficiently. His work combines theoretical convergence guarantees with applications such as sparse regression, matrix sensing, and signal/image reconstruction. Prospective students would engage with mathematical optimization theory, algorithm design, and analysis of convergence rates for multi-agent and networked systems.
