Optimisation and Optimal Control

Optimization is about finding the "best" way to do a task, subject to any restrictions. Research in optimization includes model development, analysis, numerical techniques and applications.

Research Interests

  • Nonlinear programming.
  • Nonsmooth analysis and optimization.
  • Global optimization.
  • Applied nonlinear functional analysis.
  • Semidefinite programming.
  • Optimal control for cancer chemotherapy.
  • Numerical methods for nonsmooth problems.
  • Integer programming.
  • Stochastic programming.
  • Application of Optimization Techniques to
      - Approximation,
      - Biology,
      - Finance,
      - Engineering,
      - Statistics,
      - Data mining,
      - Open Pit Mining,
      - Scheduling Port Operations.
