报告摘要：Mathematical optimization has numerous applications in business and industry. However, there is a large mismatch between the optimization problems studied in academia (which tend to be highly structured problems) and those encountered in practice (which are non-standard, highly unstructured problems). This talk gives an overview of the presenter’s recent experiences in building optimization models and algorithms in the oil and gas, mining, and agriculture sectors. Some of this practical work has led to academic journal articles, showing that the gap between academia and industry can be overcome.
