Description
This research area deals with methodological and applicative problems in optimization, data analysis and optimal design. In light of the present availability of large amounts of data and the opportunities offered by Artificial Intelligence, an important part of the investigation is carried out in a data-driven fashion. Other relevant methodologies reside in convex optimization, scenario approach and probabilistic reasoning, predictive models. Typical applications are in the fields of financial engineering, optimization of complex systems (such as mobility systems, electrical vehicles and fleets), human-vehicle interaction, logistics, decision support systems, urban systems.
A particular promising research field in this setting involves application of Artificial Intelligence, and especially its machine learning embodiment for automated design of circuits and EM devices, such as metasurface antennas. Notable examples for this task are the so-called Physics-informed design algorithms, which exploit fast forward solvers combined with sophisticated optimization tools to provide full design and layout in a very reduced runtime.
