Mathematical Models, Methods and Algorithms for Solving Difficult Optimization Problems for Achieving High Security in Communications and Better Economic Sustainability

Project № КП-06-Н 52/7 from 19.11.2021, Funding from National Science Fund of Bulgaria - Ministry of Education and Science, Project Coordinator Prof. Vassil Guliashki

Events

Thesis defense for obtaining a doctoral degree of Aida Bitri, held at TU-Sofia on 08.11.2022.

The project, as part of the participation of the Scientific Research Fund, was presented at the thirteenth edition of the Sofia Science Festival 2023, which took place in the "John Atanasov" building of the Sofia Tech Park between May 11 - 14, 2023.
The Sofia Science Festival is a forum where the achievements of fundamental and applied science and technology are presented by leading Bulgarian and international researchers in discussions, demonstrations, hands-on workshops for schools and adults, and interdisciplinary events linking the sciences with art.
