#YW4OR call for applications is still open #orms, please apply using this form (deadline November 14): 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This was hard work but now we are happy! The #BOBILib paper has today been accepted for publication in Mathematical Programming Computation! Here's the final version of the preprint: optimization-online.org/wp-content/u...! And here's the website bobilib.org! Spread the word and use it! :-)

Thanks to the best supervisor! 🙏 If you are interested, feel free to check out my award-winning thesis. It’s only ~300 pages 😅 TL; DR: If you are attending #OR2025 in Bielefeld, you can still join me today at TC-4 in H6, where I will present (some of) the results. #orms @unitrier.bsky.social

That's it for this #EuroMIP25. Thanks everyone for making this workshop a success

I couldn’t have asked for better co-authors, collaborators, or mentors, thank you for everything!
