Optimization algorithms, which try to find the minimum values of mathematical functions, are everywhere in engineering. Among other things, they're used to evaluate design tradeoffs, to assess control ...

Penn researchers have developed a universal algorithm that allows 2D materials to retain mechanical strength after conversion into 3D structures. The team’s work takes inspiration from kirigami, an ...

Robotic-guided system Researchers at Zeta Surgical are working to make transcranial focused ultrasound treatment safer and more successful. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/Bioengineering ...

This course studies approximation algorithms – algorithms that are used for solving hard optimization problems. Such algorithms find approximate (slightly suboptimal) solutions to optimization ...

Scientists have prototyped a new method for 'rationally engineering' enzymes to deliver improved performance. They have devised an algorithm, which takes into account an enzyme's evolutionary history, ...

Algorithm design and analysis is fundamental to all areas of computer science and gives a rigorous framework for the study optimization. This course provides an introduction to algorithm design ...
