History
In 2008, under the leadership of interim director, John Wiley, a university-wide competition was held and five research themes, as well as their senior faculty theme leaders, were identified. These founding themes were Bionates, Epigenetics, the Living Environments Laboratory, Optimization and Systems Biology. At the close of 2010 the Discovery …
Jeff Linderoth
Professor and Department Chair
Models and Algorithms for Large-Scale Numerical Optimization
Wright Research Group
Numerical optimization, especially problems involving real (as opposed to integer or discrete) variables. Includes theory, algorithms, implementation and application.
Nowak Research Group
The NRG focuses on signal processing, machine learning, optimization, and statistics. Areas of focus include sparsity and active learning, learning graphs and networks, and interactive machine learning with humans.
Del Pia Research Group
Theoretical and algorithmic aspects of mixed-integer optimization, with a special emphasis in linear and polynomial functions. Other interests include polyhedral combinatorics and combinatorial optimization.
Turng Lab
The Turng lab works with injection molding and innovative plastics manufacturing processes (such as microcellular injection molding / MuCell process), pioneering materials (biobased polymers, nanocomposites, electro-active polymers (EAPs), etc.), and intelligent modeling and process control (computer-aided engineering (CAE), numerical simulation, design and process optimization, intelligent injection molding control, and Internet-based collaboration) to advance the science and manufacturing techniques surrounding tissue engineering scaffolds.
