Optimisation is one of the most rapidly evolving fields of modern mathematics. The members of the Group are actively involved in the development of new optimisation techniques and their practical applications. Our research focuses primarily on combinatorial optimisation and large scale mixed integer linear programming. The results of our research are published in first-tier international journals and refereed proceedings of prestigious international conferences. Active industry collaboration is central to the group: The practical applications encompass planning and scheduling problems arising in different fields from manufacturing and transportation to professional training.
