Kim-Chuan Toh, National University of Singapore

Kim-Chuan Toh has made many outstanding contributions in the area of continuous optimization including development of very successful software, original contributions to design and implementation of algorithms as well as original contributions to theory. In particular, Kim- Chuan has made indispensable contributions to solution methods for semidefinite programming and by extension to solving convex optimization problems more broadly. In addition to his high-quality and high-impact contributions in continuous optimization, Kim-Chuan has made exemplary contributions in leadership and in service to the optimization community and to promotion of research and applications of continuous optimization in the Asia-Pacific region.
