Constrained Bayesian Optimization of Experiments

3106 Etcheverry Hall

Daniel Siefman Assistant Professor Abstract: Engineering and research projects often involve optimizing a variable with respect to input parameters while respecting a constraint. For example, this might be optimizing the power production of a reactor by changing fuel parameters while maintaining a power peaking factor below a certain threshold. The design process can involve expensive…
