My general research interests: are in Scientific Computing, Computer Simulation and Large-Scale Nonlinear Constrained Optimization.
In particular I am interested in developing methods to solve scientific and engineering optimization problems involving mixed-integer programming and nonlinear constraints, and in the treatment of problems having hard and soft constraints. Our special interest is in the use of evolutionary ideas.
My interest has been to use our techniques to tackle a wide variety of scientific and engineering problems. Examples include the design of light-emitting diodes, infrared detectors, optical mirrors, bank-rating systems, space-flight trajectory optimization, and treatment planning in Gamma-Knife and brachytherapies.
