Ann-Brith Strömberg

Full Professor at Applied Mathematics and Statistics

I lead the research group in mathematical optimization. My research concerns modelling, analysis, and algorithm development for optimization problems, including discrete, combinatorial, convex, nonsmooth, large-scale structured, and multiobjective optimization. Much of my research is carried out in cooperation with academy and industry, with application to, e.g., scheduling of maintenance and production, variable electricity generation, and transport planning.
