Optimization research with real-world impact in transportation, space systems, networks, healthcare, quantum optimization, and related areas.
These projects illustrate collaborative applications of operations research, combinatorial optimization, mathematical modelling and algorithms to real decision problems. The project portfolio will continue to be updated as new collaborations develop.
Each project is illustrated with a project-specific graphic reflecting its application area.
