Abstract:
CVXPY is a Python-embedded modeling language for convex optimization. This tutorial will cover the basics of CVXPY, show how to combine it with high-level Python features like parallelism and object-oriented design, and use it in applications including distributed and nonconvex optimization.

Bio:
Steven Diamond is the principal developer of CVXPY. He is a student in Stephen Boyd’s group at Stanford. His research focuses on domain specific languages for convex optimization.
