Events Optec Agenda Detail
At this conference also Mike Powell will give a talk with the title "The development of algorithms for nonlinear optimization".
Mike Powell is (emeritus) Professor at Cambridge university and one of the most important and influential nonlinear optimizers worldwide.
He left traces in several fields of optimization, among other with the invention of the now widespread SQP algorithm 30 years ago, up to efficient derivative free nonlinear optimization algorithms in recent years.

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
