During my academic journey, I conducted significant research in the field of optimization under uncertainty. My work led to three major advancements:I developed an innovative approach for solving optimization problems under uncertainty, which I named SIROM (Sampling-based multi-objective Iterative Robust Optimization Method). This method automatically finds solutions using information gathered through simulations and clusters solutions based on similarity. I applied SIROM to an Industry 4.0 linear optimization problem, specifically bandwidth packing. In 92.5% of cases, SIROM outperformed or achieved results equal to the existing literature methods for the same problem.I tackled a 2D target location problem under uncertainty by employing distance geometry. My approach differed from the classical literature model, resulting in significantly lower location errors in 59% of cases and reduced execution time compared to existing methods.I introduced a novel measure of robustness called "Hardness," which assesses the feasibility of a solution under various scenarios of uncertain parameters. This measure offers a clearer and more nuanced evaluation of robustness compared to traditional literature quality measures.My research contributions demonstrate my expertise in optimization and my ability to develop innovative solutions to complex problems. These experiences have enriched my skills in mathematics, computer science, and problem-solving.
