Optimization
A major part of the work engineers and researchers develop currently relies on designing, analyzing, operating and optimizing systems, processes, and products. From building investment portfolios to determining the amount of fertilizer to be employed on a plantation to the positioning of components on a circuit board (i.e., in almost all fields) optimization is a key tool for achieving performance and efectiveness. In my research, I pursue to develop a working body of knowledge on optimization and its techniques in its many facets in order to recognize, formulate, and solve problems in different fields, especially in resource allocation for communication networks and in signal and image processing.
