Jitamitra Desai

Jitamitra Desai is an Associate Professor of Operations Research in the Decision Sciences (DS) group at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.

My research interests are primarily in mathematical/computational decision analytics, particularly in developing large-scale (big-data) optimization algorithms and their applications, notably in aviation, transportation and location theory, energy analytics, and wireless communication networks. I also dabble in some miscellaneous OR problems arising in networks and graphs, stochastic decision analysis, and am starting to dig into some biological applications.

When I am not working, you can usually find me playing tennis, drinking coffee, following the technology startup space, or just having a rollicking time being a dad :-)!

Specialties: Optimization theory, algorithms and computing, with applications to select management and decision science problems!

Topic: A Set of Linearized Partially-Parallel Splitting Methods for Separable Convex Programs
