A newer paradigm -- Performance Optimization Programming (POP) -- reframes the question of algorithm analysis as a metaoptimization problem, enabling a computer-assisted, systematic search for optimal methods. We introduce Branch-and-Bound Performance Estimation Programming (BnB-PEP), a unified methodology for constructing certifiably optimal first-order methods for both convex and nonconvex optimization. Prior PEP-based approaches formulate worst-case performance as a convex semidefinite program, but this convexity is simultaneously a limitation: only a narrow class of problem setups admit such tractable reformulations. BnB-PEP overcomes this barrier by directly embracing nonconvexity. BnB-PEP is applied to several settings that were previously intractable: constructing the optimal gradient method without momentum, deriving optimal methods for reducing gradient norms of smooth nonconvex functions, and designing efficient methods for weakly convex nonsmooth optimization. In each case, the methodology yields new state-of-the-art convergence bounds. Finally, we show how the analysis generalizes to settings with gradient corruption and allows for the discovery of an entirely novel class of first-order optimization algorithms which enjoy optimal corruption protection.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>[Das Gupta, van Parys, Ryu: Branch-and-Bound Performance Estimation Programming](<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.07305\">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.07305</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>[Gösgens, van Parys: Subgradient Methods for Nonsmooth Convex Functions with Adversarial Errors](<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03072\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.03072</a>)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Short bio: Bart van Parys</strong> is a senior researcher in the Stochastics groupt at the Dutch National Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI). Bart has played a pioneering role in developing distributionally robust optimization (DRO) as a practical tool for decision-making in uncertain environments. His doctoral work pioneered DRO formulations in stochastic control theory and power systems. Key innovations were an extension of the inequality of Gauss from 1821 in terms of tractable convex optimization problems.<br>\r\nMore recently, Bart formalized the search for statistically efficient data-driven decisions by advancing a novel meta-optimization framework via large-deviations theory. Bart's current research is primarily methodological and revolves around fundamental concerns when making decisions based on wild data sets and the automated design of better optimization algorithms.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-15T18:05:10", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-15T18:05:10", "link_label": "", "link_url": "https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=alXC9vvEsUqix54iDfEcQ_ZC0STJ3plPhyuf4N1UEBtUQzlHRTFSUVRZOEMxTjJTU1Q5TkVQVkNLMC4uplPhyuf4N1UEBtUQzlHRTFSUVRZOEMxTjJTU1Q5TkVQVkNLMC4u&fromie=true", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "ODY 4 03", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==ODY%204%2003", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/-K7fsTI-QaeQE6wowwJbtw", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Professor Bart VAN PARYS\r\n\r\nDutch National Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI)", "organizer": "Prof. Daniel Kuhn", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120394/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/38/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71574, "title": "Entropy methods and nonlinear flows for symmetry and stability results", "slug": "entropy-methods-and-nonlinear-flows-for-symmetry-a", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/entropy-methods-and-nonlinear-flows-for-symmetry-a", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32910/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32910/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32910/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-01", "end_date": "2026-05-01", "start_time": "14:15:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Abstract</strong><br>\r\nThe lecture will be based on entropy methods for nonlinear diffusion equations with two main goals: 1.

I'll discuss our AI for Science program, share examples of how researchers are using Claude across domains from molecular biology to materials science, and outline our thinking on what makes AI genuinely useful for working scientists. I'll also touch on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it enables integration with scientific tools and data sources.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nJonah Cool leads life sciences partnerships and deployment at Anthropic, where he works directly with researchers, academic institutions, and biotech startups to apply frontier AI to scientific discovery. His focus is on understanding where large language models can meaningfully accelerate biological research and building the partnerships, evaluation frameworks, and deployment practices to make that happen responsibly.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBefore Anthropic, Jonah served as VP of Science & Partnerships at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, where he launched the Single Cell Biology program and led cross-sector technology development spanning biotech, academia, and philanthropy. He holds a PhD in cell biology (AHA fellow) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Salk Institute (NIH fellow). His career has moved across academia, biotech startups, large-scale philanthropy, and now frontier AI, connected by a consistent focus on finding the leverage points where new technology can change how science gets done.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-10T10:19:48", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-15T10:24:18", "link_label": "Registration required (epfl.ch email address only)", "link_url": "https://forms.office.com/e/F0PALJFN3D", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/63663088641?pwd=R57BacyioFy78i0vZ7o8IYH6I5duKA.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Jonah Cool, PhD", "organizer": "<a href=\"http://ai.epfl.ch\">EPFL AI Center,</a> <a href=\"https://aimm.epfl.ch/\">EPFL AIMM Lab</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nicolas.machado?lang=en\">Nicolas Machado</a>", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120338/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70233, "title": "Cryo electron microscopy of vitreous sections revisited for high throughput tomographic imaging of tissue and cells", "slug": "cryo-electron-microscopy-of-vitreous-sections-revi", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/cryo-electron-microscopy-of-vitreous-sections-revi", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31688/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31688/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31688/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-05", "end_date": "2026-05-05", "start_time": "16:00:00", "end_time": "17:00:00", "description": "<br>\r\n<br>\r\nCellular cryo electron tomography is experiencing spectacular developments, revealing with increasing resolution and complexity the structures and interactions of macromolecules at work in living matter. To obtain thin samples from biological tissue and cells in their flash-frozen native state, cryo-FIB milling is nowadays the most popular method, with impressive successes. The alternative, cryo-ultramicrotomy - also known as CEMOVIS - has been overshadowed because of (i) technical difficulties associated to cryo-section generation and collection - in particular the lack of control over adhesion; and (ii) crevasses and compression artefacts.<br>\r\nI will present recent developments with optimization of the experimental workflow, focusing on section adhesion and their support grids. These result in high throughput data acquisition, with typically several tens to hundreds of cryo-tomograms per sample. Revisiting cutting artefacts shows that crevasses alter but 10 % of the sample volume. Compression is heterogeneous, with scale and material-dependent effects. This is altogether a drawback – with no simple computational correction – and an advantage for projects dedicated to non-(or little)-affected objects such as nucleosomes and chromatin.<br>\r\nAltogether, it is time to revive CEMOVIS as a practical alternative to cryo-FIB milling, offering specific advantages: (i) imaging of large areas of any type of sample, from cells to tissues, organs or even entire organisms – and more generally all kinds of hydrated molecular systems ; (ii) the possibility of serial section approaches ; (iii) no beam damage ; and (iv) a specimen thickness that can be tuned down to 30-50 nm, which may be an advantage for high resolution imaging of small molecular complexes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAmélie Leforestier is a CNRS research director at the Solid-State Physics Laboratory (LPS, Paris-Saclay, France).
