Automatic Design of Metaheuristics for Practical Engineering Applications
IEEE Access, 2023 It is common to find multiple metaheuristics to solve continuous optimization problems. However, choosing what optimizer may obtain the best results for a given task requires exhaustive evaluations that are highly application-dependent.

Efficient First‐Principles Inverse Design of Nanolasers
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This article introduces a first‐principles inverse‐design framework for nanolasers that directly incorporates nonlinear lasing physics. By unifying steady‐state ab‐initio laser theory (SALT) with topology optimization, it reveals how spatial hole burning, gain saturation, and cavity‐emitter coupling shape laser performance, enabling efficient discovery

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.Purpose The dependence of the long‐time (tortuosity) limit of the extra‐cellular diffusivity on the intra‐cellular volume fraction is of fundamental importance for microstructure modeling. While such dependencies have been explored for the white matter, the tortuosity limit in gray matter is unknown due to complex cell composition and geometry. Here we

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Methodology for the implementation of heuristics in the design process [PDF]
, 2014 This article explores the applicability of heuristic rules into the decision-making processes involved in design practices. For this purpose, the research focuses on the development of a methodology that seeks to facilitate the introduction of heuristics
