Description :
Our group is active in the fields of optimization (a.k.a. mathematical programming) and operations research. It concentrates its research activity in continuous optimization (in particular convex problems), discrete optimization (integer programming) and computational economics in network-based industries.
Topics addressed include equilibrium problems, formulation, modelling and algorithms for (large-scale) optimization problems and applications in domains such as engineering, supply chain management, energy networks, etc.
