I found this link:

and followed a few links; here's a write up on someone named "Meredith." decipher this, please:

"I finished my Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford University in March 1999. My dissertation, entitled Sequential Quadratic Programming Methods Based on Indefinite Hessian Approximations, is on sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods with nonconvex QP subproblems and disaggregated quasi-Newton Hessian approximations."

It means he's cleverer than most of us.
