Canberra Evolutionary Optimization

About

The Canberra Evolutionary Optimization is located in the School of Engineering and Information Technology, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Canberra, Australia. The key objective of this group is to design and development optimization techniques for solving complex decision and optimization problems. It covers computational intelligence, population based search algorithms (such as evolutionary algorithms) as well as conventional search algorithms. The problem areas include structured (single and multi-objective optimization with or without functional constraints), semi-structured and unstructured problems.

The group is lead by Prof. Ruhul Sarker who was the Faculty Director of Postgraduate Research in UNSW Canberra from 6/2015 to 5/2020. It has ten core members who are working both theoretical and applied research areas such as, supply chain (design, bottleneck, shipping, and disruption recovery), mining (mine scheduling, coal mining and petroleum production planning), manufacturing (layout and location, production planning, and scheduling), agriculture (crop planning, and land allocation), power generation planning, resource constrained project scheduling, and defence (planning, and performance evaluation). The group has several collaborations with both academics and industry personnel, within Australia and internationally.
