The University of New South Wales
Emmanuel Travassaros is pursuing a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and Advanced Mathematics (Honours) at the University of New South Wales. Through the UNSW Talented Students Program, Emmanuel was introduced to convex optimisation. This field sparked his fascination with semi-definite programming and its diverse applications in control theory, financial modelling, and approximations of NP-hard problems. Emmanuel has greatly enjoyed engaging with advanced mathematical ideas, presenting in a postgraduate reading group on convexity, and collaborating with academics in the discipline. He looks forward to undertaking an honours year, with the intention of pursuing postgraduate research in mathematics. Outside of his studies, Emmanuel enjoys British comedy, international cuisines and spending quality time with his dog.
