The Sahinidis Optimization Group

Carnegie Mellon University

Department of Chemical Engineering

The primary objectives of our program are: (1) to advance the field of optimization by creating algorithms and software that serve as enabling technologies across science and engineering, and (2) to develop comprehensive and rigorous solutions to important and fundamental problems at the interfaces among the computational, engineering, chemical, and biological sciences.
