The PSOR Lab will be participating in the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) 2021 Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA. Matt Wilhelm will be presenting virtually “Reduced-Space Optimization of Data-Driven Hybrid Models” in session VSD63 “Julia Packages for the Modeling and Solution of Optimization Problems” on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2021 at 5:45-7:15PM ET. Dr. Stuber will be presenting virtually “Recent Advances in EAGO.jl: A Feature-Rich Global Solver and Research Platform” in session VMB41 “Global Optimization of MINLPs and its Applications” at 10:45AM-12:15PM ET.

JuliaCon 2021 is virtual and occurs July 28-30. Matt Wilhelm will be discussing global dynamic optimization in Julia as part of the mini-symposium on Set Propagation Methods in Julia.

Registration is free!

Congratulations to former undergraduate (and interim graduate) researcher Shay Cetegen for her recently accepted publication in Computers & Chemical Engineering. This paper discusses the robust design of emerging technologies for sustainable food production. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compchemeng.2021.107285

The PSOR Lab is happy to announce that Robert Gottlieb has joined as a new PhD student.  Welcome!

Congratulations to Matt Wilhelm on the recently published paper in Optimization Methods & Software.  This paper discusses the groundbreaking EAGO software for deterministic global optimization written in the Julia programming language.  https://doi.org/10.1080/10556788.2020.1786566

The PSOR Lab will be presenting three papers at the AIChE Annual Meeting 2019 in Orlando, FL held on Nov 17-22.

Congratulations to Matt Wilhelm and former NSF REU student Anne Le (now at UMass Amherst) on the recently accepted publication in AIChE Journal.  This work develops a new approach to bounding solutions of parametric initial value problems for guaranteed global solution of dynamic optimization problems.  This article is part of the AIChE Futures Issue by invitation. https://doi.org/10.1002/aic.16836

PSOR Lab and collaborators at UConn recently published an article on next-generation sensor technology for wastewater treatment systems in the journal Water Research. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2019.114971

Dr. Stuber will be speaking at the European Conference on Operational Research (EURO2019) in Dublin on June 24, 2019 .  He will discuss EAGO.jl in the MC-49 session in the Software for Optimization stream.

Members of the PSOR Lab recently published the article “Dexamethasone Increases Cisplatin-Loaded Nanocarrier Delivery and Efficacy in Metastatic Breast Cancer by Normalizing the Tumor Microenvironment” in the journal ACS Nano in collaboration with our international consortium on cancer research.  https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.8b07865
