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.

Monday, Nov 11

    330-6PM Advances in Optimization: Global, Uncertainty, Surrogate & Mixed-Integer Models I

1. Matthew Wilhelm: Reachability Bounds for Global and Robust Optimization of Parametric ODEs via Implicit Methods

Tuesday, Nov 12

    330-6PM AIChE Journal Futures: New Directions in Chemical Engineering Research (Invited Talks)

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

 

Members of the PSOR Lab recently published the article “Semi-infinite programming for global guarantees of robust fault detection and isolation in safety-critical systems” in the journal Computers & Chemical Engineering.
