Conference Scope

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from scientific areas related to shape or topology optimization and their application in science and engineering. Besides theoretical aspects, recent algorithmic developments and, in particular, new application areas are of interest.

Based on a large group of invited speakers with each of them renowned for various contributions to the field, the format of the conference facilitates discussions on recent trends and future directions in shape and topology optimization.

Contributions combining new techniques in shape or topology optimization and their application to real-world problems are particularly welcome. Fields of applications include, but are not limited to, acoustics, electromagnetism, fluid and solid mechanics, materials processing, heat and mass transfer, optics, geophysics, and mathematical image processing.
