The PSOR Lab is excited to welcome our newest member, Alireza Miraliakbar. Welcome to the lab!
New publication in Optimization Methods & Software!
Congratulations to PhD candidate Robert Gottlieb and PhD student Pengfei Xu on their recent publication in the journal Optimization Methods & Software. This work details a significant breakthrough in how deterministic global optimization problems are solved, which enables the use of graphics processing units (GPUs). DOI: 10.1080/10556788.2024.2396297
New publication in the Journal of Cleaner Production!
Congratulations to PhD student Hasan Nikkhah for his recent publication in the Journal of Cleaner Production. This work presents a recent study on the life cycle assessment of the common cardiopulmonary bypass device and compares the impacts of alternative material choices. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2023.138815
New publication in Renewable Energy!
Congratulations to former undergraduate researchers Justin Rastinejad and Sloane Putnam for publishing their work in the journal Renewable Energy. This work studies the economic feasibility of competing solar technologies for the hybridization of industrial process heat systems. Download here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2023.119069
Dimitri Receives the AY22-23 Graduate TA Award!

New publication in JOTA!
Congratulations to former PSOR Lab member, Matthew Wilhelm for his recently published article in the Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications! This paper develops a new and improved approach for relaxing composite bilinear functions (i.e., f(x)=g(x)h(x)) that leads to a significant speedup in solution times for deterministic global optimization.
