Congratulations to Robert Gottlieb on his recent publication in Mathematical Programming Computation. This work details a novel method for automatically generating kernels (GPU functions) that compute interval bounds, convex and concave relaxations, and relaxation subgradients of nonconvex functions entirely on GPU hardware. This enables users to exploit alternative computing architectures (GPUs) for deterministic global optimization. […]

Congratulations to Dimitri Alston, Joseph Choi, and Pengfei Xu on their publication in the ACS journal Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research. This work details a nice software package that automatically converts equation-oriented process models (developed in ModelingToolkit) into mathematical programming constraints for process optimization. This enables a seamless integration between modeling and simulation in Julia. […]

Congratulations to Robert Gottlieb on his recent publication in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Reaction Chemistry & Engineering journal. This is collaborative work with Prof. Valla’s lab on the study of possible reaction pathways for hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oil compounds using different catalysts and solvents. Our contribution used mathematical optimization and complete reaction pathway models together […]
