Robust optimization in network systems
Research Interest
General research interests:
- Robust optimization
- (Mixed-integer) linear programming
- Network systems
Research:
Robust optimization is an approach to handling optimization problems with uncertainty.
The constraints of a robust optimization problem must be satisfied for all possible values of the uncertain variables, which is an essential
feature for critical applications where a single constraint violation can lead to enormous damage.
We apply the robust optimization framework to problems in power and communication systems to efficiently optimize flows within the network and the placement of flow-controlling devices.
We also develop heuristics for large robust optimization problems by exploiting topological characteristics of the underlying network system.
