I am somehwere between a mathematician and a computer scientist, working on Optimization on Riemannian manifolds with a focus both on open source algorithms and non smooth optimization. I develop Manopt.jl, Manifolds.jl and am a founder of the JuliaManifolds GitHub org.
I work at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in the beautiful town of Trondheim, Norway.
Session
Lie groups are a tool to work with groups where the group operation is smooth, for example the set of rotation matrices or the collection of all possible translations and rotations on a Euclidean space.
In this talk we introduce the package LieGroups.jl to perform numerical operations on and work with Lie groups in numerical tasks, for example when working with physical quantities such as rotations, translations and velocities.
