Kim-Chuan Toh

Kim-Chuan Toh is a Singaporean mathematician, and Leo Tan Professor in Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is known for his contributions to the theory, practice, and application of convex optimization, especially semidefinite programming and conic programming.

Toh received BSc (Hon.) in 1990 and MSc in 1992, from NUS, and PhD in 1996 from Cornell University.

Awards and Honours

Toh received the 2017 INFORMS Optimization Society Farkas Prize, [1] and 2019 President’s Science Award (Singapore). [2] He is a fellow of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Class of 2018).[3]

gollark: Handling chat is out of scope and you would need to write new code anyway. Plus yet more for handling non websocket transports.
gollark: It can *basically* do that anyway but it's a message delivery platform.
gollark: You would need to do something hacky like constantly send HTTP requests to check for a new message. I'm not adding support for that.
gollark: Unfortunately 1.7 has no websockets.
gollark: Skynet is basically just a simple publish/subscribe websocket protocol with a CC library.
