Del Pia Group

Del Pia Lab

Professor Del Pia’s research group works on theoretical and algorithmic aspects of Mathematical Optimization and Discrete Mathematics, with a focus on Mixed Integer Optimization. The three main problems considered are (1) Mixed Integer Linear Optimization, (2) Mixed Integer Quadratic Optimization, and (3) Binary Polynomial Optimization. A central question studied by the group is: Which structural restrictions on these general optimization problems allow us to solve them efficiently? The group also works on Discrete Geometry, Polyhedral Combinatorics, and on optimization problems of relevance in Data Science and Machine Learning, like Sparse PCA, Subset Selection, and Clustering problems.

Professor Del Pia has been awarded with the 2023 Egon Balas Prize and the 2017 Young Researchers Prize from the INFORMS Optimization Society, and the 2023 INFORMS Computing Society Prize from the INFORMS Computing Society.
