Hello Team and Nathan, Hello Nathann and Team,
Greetings I am Animesh, currently a PhD student in operations research at UC Berkeley. I have skimmed through the ideas page for the GSoC 2012. I find interest in the project listing :Optimization I have a undergraduate education in Manufacturing and Automation from Univ. of Delhi (India), and master's in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech (Atl, GA).I have a background in optimization (Linear, Non linear and some experience in Integer) & stochastic modelling (operations research), robotics, computer vision. I have taken multiple graduate courses in optimization and stochastics. I have sufficient programming experience, mainly in c/c++ and matlab in windows for robotics/vision domains where I implemented custom algorithms and worked with robot hardware. Furthermore, I am comfortable using either Linux or Windows. I have worked on projects with subversion. I do not have substantial experience with writing open source code. I have had a chance to use CPlex, Gurobi and AMPL. I have known about Sage but have never used it. I would like to take this as a chance to both know Sage and contribute to its development. Personally I am motivated in working in optimization in robotics and vision (in broad sense), and this topic is of particular interest to me. I routinely need non-linear optimization modules. And from the description of Sage - Big Maan 's rolled into open source package, it is very appealing. I would like to discuss some specifics of the project, and tips for formulating the student application. I hope to get encouraging input from your end. Hopefully you might find my candidature fit for your project.
