Sven obtained his Ph.D. in 1994 from the University of Dundee, working on mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems with Roger Fletcher. He has held postdoc positions at Dundee, Northwestern, and Argonne, where he now works as a computational mathematician in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division. Sven is a Senior Fellow of the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago.
Sven is the current SIAM Vice President for Programs, a co-editor of Mathematical Programming and an editor-in-chief of Mathematical Methods of Operations Research. He serves on the editorial board of Computational Optimization and Applications. In addition, Sven edits the SIAG/OPT Views-and-News. He has served as the INFORMS Optimization Vice-Chair for nonlinear programming and as the Program Director of the SIAM activity group on optimization. For other appointments, see this list of other appointments.
Together with Roger Fletcher and Philippe L. Toint, Sven was awarded the Lagrange prize in optimization in 2006. In 2009, Sven became a SIAM Fellow.
