Education and career
Sagastizábal earned a degree in mathematics, astronomy and physics from the National University of Córdoba in Argentina in 1984. She completed a PhD in 1993 at Pantheon-Sorbonne University in France; her dissertation, Quelques methodes numeriques d'optimization: Application en gestion de stocks, was supervised by Claude Lemaréchal.[2]
While in France, she worked with Électricité de France on optimization problems involving electricity generation, a topic that has continued in her research since that time.[3] She moved to Brazil in 1997. Before joining the University of Campinas in 2017, she has also been affiliated with the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada and French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation, among other institutions.[2]
Recognition
Sagastizábal was an invited speaker at the 8th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2015.[3] She was also an invited speaker on control theory and mathematical optimization at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians.[5]
She is a SIAM Fellow, in the 2024 class of fellows, elected "for contributions to non-smooth optimization and applications to engineering, and numerical methods for optimization".[6]
