Lectures, tutorials, workshops and intensive short courses are offered on the broad subject of nonlinear (global and local) optimization.
These lectures typically include a selection of software demonstrations, as well as a review or more detailed discussion of engineering, economic, and scientific applications.
All presentations are offered in an interactive atmosphere. New test problems, challenges, and information regarding new applications of optimization are welcome.
Please contact me, if you are interested in a specific course, workshop, tutorial, or lecture. A selection of presentations (since 2001) is shown below.
