Disaster Management
Our research group is active on post-disaster relief distribution, injured evacuation, evacuation traffic, road network debris cleanup and accessibility. We develop mathematical models in these areas as well as heuristics on large scale disaster response and performance testing.

Energy and Control
Current focus of our group is on development of management and control techniques for energy systems using model predictive control, stochastic programming and stochastic dynamic programming approaches. There are also past and ongoing works on convex optimization, linear matrix inequalities and intelligent control systems.

Our research group is concerned with developing “divide and conquer” methods for unconstrained and constrained nonconvex global optimization problems. Besides metaheuristics, we also develop complete methods based on interval mathematics for constrained and unconstrained mixed integer global optimization instances.
