announcements ·Author: Miles Lubin, Carleton Coffrin, Oscar Dowson, Julian Hall, and Changhyun Kwon
The JuMP Steering Committee is pleased to announce that we, through NumFOCUS, have received a large grant from the Breakthrough Energy Foundation to improve the performance of JuMP and HiGHS on open energy models. This grant is an extension of our previous work on open energy modeling.
The agreement runs for one year, and the people being funded are:
- Dr. Julian Hall, the lead developer of the HiGHS solver
- Dr. Ivet Galabova, the HiGHS Integration and Development manager
- Dr. Mark Turner, a HiGHS MIP developer
- Dr. Filippo Zanetti, the developer of HiPO
- Dr. Oscar Dowson, a core contributor to JuMP, and also a member of the Steering Committee.
(Per our conflict of interest policy, Oscar and Julian, who are funded by the grant, recused themselves from Steering Committee votes on this agreement.)
