During September 2025, Alex worked on the cvxpy-ipopt repository, focusing on enhancing the complex-valued workflow by integrating CVXPY’s convolve atom into the complex2real canonicalization process. Using Python and NumPy, Alex addressed a SciPy backend issue where sparse convolution previously led to dimension mismatches during sparse matrix conversion, ensuring more reliable sparse matrix operations. The work included developing comprehensive unit tests to validate correct handling of complex convolutions, particularly for edge cases. This contribution demonstrated depth in convex and numerical optimization, as well as scientific computing, resulting in a more robust and maintainable codebase for complex-valued optimization tasks.
