We couldn’t be more excited to share that Pierluigi Mansueto is among the finalists of the

EURO Doctoral Dissertation Award 2025 !!!

We are proud to announce that Matteo Lapucci and Pierluigi Mansueto got the COAP Best Paper Award 2024!

A limited memory Quasi-Newton approach for multi-objective optimization
Computational Optimization and Applications, 85 (2023), pp. 33-73.

Check the next seminar organized by GOL together with the Numerical Optimization and Data Analysis (DIEF -UNIFI) group:

FLorence OPtimization talkS (FLOPS)

The seminars are intended to be an opportunity to discuss on theoretical, computational and applied aspects of mathematical optimization.

PhD Day 2025

GOL will participate to the PhD day promoted by the four doctorate programs at the Engineering School of the University of Florence that will take place on May 22nd.
