The Computational Optimization Methods (COMET) Lab is a research group led by Dr. Changhyun Kwon in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at KAIST. We develop computational optimization methods for solving large-scale optimization problems arising in transportation, logistics, mobility, manufacturing, service operations, and other related areas. Methods from our computational toolbox include exact optimization algorithms, heuristic methods, machine learning techniques, and their hybrid approaches. Our research expertise lies in the intersection of mathematical optimization, computational science, and transportation engineering.
