Optimization methods and data modeling for large scale problems in science, engineering and economics
Dr. Ferris’ research is concerned with algorithmic and interface development for large scale problems in mathematical programming, including links to the GAMS and AMPL modeling languages, and general purpose software such as PATH, NLPEC and EMP. He has worked on many applications of both optimization and complementarity, including cancer treatment planning, energy modeling, economic policy, traffic and environmental engineering, video-on-demand data delivery, structural and mechanical engineering. He serves on the editorial boards of Mathematical Programming, Informs Journal of Computing, and Optimization Methods and Software.
