Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

In large retail operations, category management teams spend significant time deciding which product goes onto which shelf and in which order. Shelf space is very expensive real estate in retail.

Robotic-guided system Researchers at Zeta Surgical are working to make transcranial focused ultrasound treatment safer and more successful. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/Bioengineering ...

Incorporating multiple constraints such as task completion time, UAV payload capacity, and flight range into path optimization algorithms allows for more efficient search patterns.

Scientists have prototyped a new method for 'rationally engineering' enzymes to deliver improved performance. They have devised an algorithm, which takes into account an enzyme's evolutionary history, ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Categorizing patients with cancer by their disease stage can be an important tool when conducting administrative claims-based studies. As claims databases frequently do not capture this information, ...
