About

I’m Logan Bell, a PhD student in the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University, where I’m advised by Professor Stephen Boyd.

Why “Dual Space”?#

In optimization, every primal problem has a corresponding dual problem. This blog is the dual companion to Primal Space, my professional site. Primal Space is the record of my work (projects, professional experience, etc.) while Dual Space is for exploring ideas and thoughts.

Other interests#

Within mathematics, beyond my active research areas, I’m drawn to number theory, algebraic geometry, probability theory, PDEs, mathematical logic, and automated theorem proving. Beyond mathematics, I’m interested in philosophy, particularly metaphysics and philosophy of mind. I’m also passionate about hypertrophy training, and I enjoy specialty coffee. I may occasionally write about these topics here.
