All the videos will be available on our YouTube channel later, there will be an additional announcement.

Our next speaker (Thur, July 18, 11AM AEST) is Dr Isabelle Shankar.

Title: The dual of a convex body

Abstract: Duality in convex geometry arises naturally in optimization by asking a simple question: given a maximizer to a convex optimization problem, how can we certify that it is indeed optimal? This leads to the definition of normal cone and quickly after to the dual of a convex body, which is itself a convex body. We’ll discuss examples including polytopes and extend the theory to conic duality.
