Case Studies Summer Semester 2024
In the summer semester 2024, Prof. Andreas Wiese and Dr. Florian Lindemann expect to offer 3 projects each in discrete and nonlinear optimization, which will be carried out in cooperation with various industry partners or other research institutions.
Participants work in small groups of typically four people. The project work includes describing the problem mathematically, modeling it, and analyzing its essential properties. Based on this, you will then develop possible algorithmic solutions, which you will then implement and test on real data. You will present your results to both an internal and an external audience. Students receive intensive supervision and individual support.
Attention: Application Deadline is Sunday, 10 March!
As part of the case studies, we offer introductions to soft skills such as presentation techniques, project planning, and team organization. Special emphasis is placed on linking mathematics with a concrete application. You will also train to discuss your progress and results in your project with people from other disciplines and with different educational backgrounds.
This course is geared towards master students in mathematics, in particular students of the study programs "Mathematics in Operations Research", "Mathematics" with the study focus "Optimization", and "Mathematics in Science and Engineering".
