Description
This department focusses its research and development on algorithmic discrete mathematics. Recently, more and more problems covering nonlinear and stochastic optimization have been dealt with. There is a sound mix of theory oriented topics and “true practical” projects. The fields of activity are the following:

• Linear and Nonlinear Integer Optimization
• Telecommunications
• Traffic and Logistics
• Energy
