Illya Hicks’ research interests are in combinatorial optimization, graph theory, and integer programming with applications in big data, imaging, social networks, cancer treatment, and logistics. In particular, he has done extensive research in finding cohesive groups in data networks and utilizing graph decomposition techniques to solve computationally difficult discrete optimization problems.
CMOR 490
Semester-long undergraduate-level research on a topic in computational and applied mathematics and/or operations research. Repeatable for Credit.
CMOR 492
Students engage in team-oriented year-long design projects that utilize modeling, analysis, and scientific computing skills to solve a problem motivated by an application in engineering or the physical, biological, or social sciences. Participants attend regular seminars addressing research techniques and effective written and verbal presentation of mathematics.
CMOR 543
General theory and approaches for solving combinatorial optimization problems are studied. Specific topics include basic polyhedral theory, minimum spanning trees, shortest paths, network flow, matching and matroids. The course also covers the traveling salesman problem.
