Education

De Loera did his undergraduate studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, earning a B.S. in mathematics in 1989. After earning a master's degree from Western Michigan University a year later, and another master's degree in 1993 from Cornell University, he finished his doctorate from Cornell in 1995 under the supervision of Bernd Sturmfels.[2][3]

Career

De Loera joined the UC Davis faculty as an assistant professor in 1998, and was promoted to full professor in 2005.[2]

Awards and Honors

In 2014, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to discrete geometry and combinatorial optimization as well as for service to the profession, including mentoring and diversity."[4] In 2019 he was named a SIAM Fellow "for contributions to discrete geometry and optimization, polynomial algebra, and mathematical software".[5] In 2020 he received the INFORMS optimization society's Farkas Prize "in recognition of his pioneering work at the intersection of discrete mathematics, optimization and algebraic geometry."
