<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>	My name is Antonio Silveti-Falls but I mostly go by Tony. I am an associate professor (<a href="https://www.galaxie.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ensup/pdf/EC_pays_etrangers/Tableau_comparaison_au_26_septembre_2012.pdf">maître de conférences en français</a>) in France doing research in nonsmooth optimization. Since September 2022 I am at <a href="https://www.centralesupelec.fr/">CentraleSupélec</a>/<a href="https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en">University of Paris-Saclay</a> in the <a href="https://cvn.centralesupelec.fr/">Centre pour la Vision Numérique laboratory</a>. I am also a part of the <a href="https://opis-inria.eu/members/">INRIA team OPIS - OPtImization for large Scale biomedical data.</a> Last but not least, I am a proud member of the <a href="https://fd-math.pages.centralesupelec.fr/">Fédération de Mathématiques</a> de CentraleSupélec.<br>

<h2>Research</h2>
<p>I work mostly on {nonsmooth, infinite-dimensional, stochastic} convex optimization algorithms, namely first-order splitting methods. Big fan of Frank-Wolfe and Bregman methods too. Besides this, I am interested in nonsmooth 
	nonconvex optimization using conservative calculus, path differentiability, and semialgebraic/definable functions. I am also interested in applications to machine learning, deep learning, 
	image/signal processing, and inverse problems.</p>
