Our main research areas and
interests lie in Nonlinear Optimization, Mathematical Problem Design, Heuristics
and Statistics. The state-of-the-art research is interdisciplinary, involving
close links with mathematics, engineering and other scientific disciplines. The
NSOS group conducts fundamental and applied research on optimization, including
algorithmic development, model formulation, and software production, as well as
on statistics applied to various areas, in particular to medicine.
At present, the group has 12
PhD permanent members, and several MSc and PhD students.
We were very pleased to lead
the organization of the international conference
ORP3-2007. The NSOS group, together with the SEOOR (Systems Engineering, Optimization and
Operations Research) research group, is committed with the organization of
the next international Optimization
conference (Optimization 2014). We are
also committed with the organization of the ICCOPT 2013 conference.
