Active Research Focuses:
1) Heuristic optimization strategies coupled with multi-scale human decision-making modeling to simulate and visualize multi-scale and multi-mode evacuation.
2) Cyberinfrastructure technologies to visualize N-Dimensional data in lossless and intuitive reduced dimensions
3) Optimization methods for large-scale complex systems, such as those found in MDO applications.
4) Establishing a MDO Test Suite to enable method validation
"Visualization" of Large Scale Complex Engineered Systems (LSCES)
The MDO Test Suite is a place for the collection, distribution and maintenance of standard MDO test problems. It includes standard test problems with problem descriptions, classifications, and their benchmark solution methods. This test suite hopes to provide a platform to facilitate rapid collaboration between researchers and advance the use of MDO in industry.
