From Macclesfield, England, Julian Hall has a BA in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, a PhD from the University of Dundee supervised by Roger Fletcher and, since 1990, has been employed as a lecturer by the University of Edinburgh. Since 2018 he has developed HiGHS with Ivet Galabova, using solvers written by Edinburgh graduate students and a developer.
What is HiGHS? How is it used for MIP solving? And how can you accelerate the impact of decision models that use open source projects? We’ll cover all of this with a live walkthrough, demo, and a Q&A with the HiGHS project maintainers.
