Oh no... I used his work on nearest positive semidefinite matrices and liked to read his blog. In my opinion, he was very good in explaining his research.

Thanks for mentioning that. It's a problem I occasionally need to solve and based on your comment, I found this helpful write up by Nick Higham [1].

In my case, I am applying this in the calibration of instantaneous correlation matrices. His relevant papers can be found at [0]. It was really helpful that he also published MATLAB code of most of his algorithms.
