Research Overview

Our research group is dedicated to tackling the mathematical, computational, and practical challenges involved in making systematic decisions in complex systems. We strive to make contributions in the fields of mathematical optimization, control theory, machine learning, process systems engineering, and energy systems.

Here are some of our specific research interests:
