Research topics

We are conducting research focusing on formulating a mathematical optimization problem and developing an algorithm to solve the problem. In particular, we are developing efficient algorithms for continuous optimization problems, which are considered to be difficult to handle, such as optimization problems including uncertainty and non-convex optimization problems. Recently, I am interested in the topics below.

1: Efficient algorithms of continuous optimization problems focusing on non-convex optimization problems
2: Decision-making method for uncertain optimization problems: development of algorithms for robust optimization problems
3: Application of optimization methods to problems appearing in various fields (machine learning, financial engineering, energy system, etc.)
