Lecturer
Operations Research(OR)
It is a scientific technique that builds mathematical models and finds their solutions by using computers for solving real problems. In particular, we focus on modeling as a mathematical optimization problem and developing algorithms to solve the problem. The scope of application of OR is diverse and we are conducting research to solve real-world problems in the fields of structure design, energy system, financial engineering, machine learning.
Efficient algorithms for continuous optimization and thier applications to real-world problems
Problems in real world often result in large scale, nonlinear, nonconvex continuous optimization problem. Also, in a situation where robustness against uncertainty (variation) of data is required, a model called a robust optimization problem may be useful. We aim to efficiently solve such optimization problems and contribute to real world problem solving.

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.)
