Short biography
Received a master degree in Applied Mathematics from Baku State University, Azerbaijan in 1983, and the Candidate of Sciences degree in Mathematical Cybernetics from the Institute of Cybernetics of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences in 1989 and PhD degree in Optimisation from Federation University Australia (formerly the University of Ballarat), Ballarat, Australia in 2002. Worked at the Space Research Institute (Baku, Azerbaijan), Baku State University (Baku, Azerbaijan), Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Moscow, Russia). Dr. Bagirov is with Federation University Australia (Ballarat, Australia) since 1999. Currently holds the full Professor position at this university. He has won five Australian Research Council Discovery and Linkage grants to conduct research in nonsmooth and global optimization and their applications. He was awarded Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow and Australian Research Council Research Fellow. He is EUROPT Fellow 2009. His main research interests are in the area of nonsmooth and global optimisation and their applications in data mining, regression analysis and water management. Dr. Bagirov has published two books on nonsmooth optimization and its applications, one edited book and more than 160 journal papers, book chapters and papers in conference proceedings.
