Expert Lecture on Optimization at AU College
13 Aug
Summary
- Technical lecture on optimization held at Andhra University.
- Professor Emeritus from Singapore National University lectured.
- Topics included sustainable engineering and evolutionary algorithms.
A technical lecture focusing on optimization and multi-objective optimization took place on Thursday at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Andhra University College of Engineering, Visakhapatnam. The session was led by G.P. Pandu Rangaiah, Professor Emeritus at the National University of Singapore and an alumnus of Andhra University.
Professor Rangaiah elucidated the core principles of optimization, including mathematical modeling, objective functions, and optimal design. He highlighted diverse applications across fields such as aerospace, control systems, product design, data analysis, and supply chains.
The lecture further delved into multi-objective optimization, introducing concepts like pareto-optimal solutions and the trade-offs involved, specifically mentioning cost, time, and CO₂ emissions. Additionally, the session provided insights into sustainable engineering practices and the utility of evolutionary algorithms for students.
