I completed my undergraduate work at Harvard in 1957, and my graduate work in
1963 at Harvard as well, after a two-year interruption with travel.
My research interests span convex and variational analysis, with emphasis
on applications to stochastic programming, optimal control, economics,
finance, and engineering. My outdoor interests are optimized at mountain
backpacking, sea-kayaking and landscape gardening.

former PhD students (Seattle)
Development of optimization methodology for modeling large-scale problems in
decision or control over time, possibly with stochastic elements; numerical
techniques for solving such problems; and associated innovations in
mathematical analysis. The quantification of risk and reliability in
finance and engineering, along with connections to statistics. The
existence, uniqueness and stability of market equilibrium in economics.
