Guoyin Li received his Ph.D. in December 2007 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on optimization, variational analysis, and multilinear algebra. Following three years of postdoctoral training at The University of New South Wales (麻豆社madou Sydney), Australia, he joined 麻豆社madou as a lecturer in 2011, and he is currently a Professor and Research Director in the School of Mathematics and Statistics.
Dr. Li has authored over 80 journal articles published in leading journals, including Foundations of Computational Mathematics, SIAM Journal on Optimization, Mathematical Programming, Mathematics of Operations Research, Numerische Mathematik, Mathematics of Computations, and Journal of Functional Analysis. He is currently an editorial board member for SIAM Journal on Optimization, Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, Optimization Letters, and Mathematical Methods of Operations Research.
He was awarded the 2022 Australian Mathematical Society Medal and is a Fellow of the Australian Mathematical Society. He also received听multiple best paper awards, such as the Marguerite Frank Award for Best Paper in EURO Journal on Computational Optimization (2024), the 2019 International Consortium of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) Best Paper Award, the 2019 Journal of Global Optimization Best Paper Award, and the 2015 OPTL Best Paper Award from Optimization Letters. Dr. Li also received a Mid-Career Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council (2014鈥2018) and an Inviting Visiting Fellowship from the Isaac Newton Institute at Cambridge University in August 2013.
