Building a chemical plant. Developing an airline route. Modeling the shapes of proteins. Each of these actions requires optimization algorithms – the combination of math and theory translated into ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

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

Most computer algorithms today are developed in high-level languages on general-purpose computers. But someday they may be deployed in embedded systems where the development, verification, and ...

Those that solve artificially simplified problems where quantum advantage is meaningless. Those that provide no genuine quantum advantage when all costs are properly accounted for. This critique is ...

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 ...

Often, when there’s talk about algorithms and journalism, the focus is on how to use algorithms to help publishers share content better and make more money. There’s the unending debate, for example, ...
