𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺
We are part of the Department of Medical Physics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, consistently ranked among the top two cancer hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Our team has a strong track record of developing and clinically deploying advanced optimization algorithms that have been used to treat over 10,000 patients (YouTube video)
We strongly advocate for open and reproducible research, exemplified by our open-source initiative PortPy (35,000+ downloads), which has been clinically deployed at our institution.
Our work spans top-tier AI venues (e.g., NeurIPS), optimization journals (e.g., INFORMS), and leading medical physics journals (Medical Physics, PMB).
