Andersen received his PhD from University of Mons under the supervision of Prof. Nicolas Gillis, a world leading expert on nonnegative matrix factorization. Andersen started his postdoc position with us in March and is working on low-rank factorization problem. He is energetic and full of interesting ideas, and we are currently crystallizing the specific question to address. I expect that his work will lead to several advances in this important area. -- Steve
