James Saunderson is currently a lecturer in the Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering department at Monash University.

James received the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science degrees (both with Honours) from the University of Melbourne in 2008. He then completed MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2011 and 2015 respectively. Before joining Monash, he spent a year as a Postdoctoral scholar jointly in Electrical Engineering at Caltech and the University of Washington.

James' research is focused on mathematical optimisation, especially methods based on convex optimisation and semidefinite programming, and their application broadly in science and engineering. He is particularly interested in understanding algebraic structure in optimisation, and exploiting it to develop improved computational methods, with performance guarantees, for important classes of optimisation problems arising in practice.
