Embedding machine learning directly into optimization: a real-world stress test

Aug 6, 2026 GAMSPy Python
There’s a class of industrial optimization problems that sits just out of reach of classical solvers. The physics-based simulation model exists and is accurate — but it’s a numerical black box.
The Gamification of Optimization Hackathon at AGU: Powering Creative Game Design with GAMSPy

Apr 22, 2026 GAMSPy Python
We are excited to share the results of our Gamification of Optimization Hackathon held at Abdullah Gül University (AGU). Over 68 students across 25 teams spent a high-energy 12-hour sprint transforming complex mathematical constraints into engaging, ready-to-play games using GAMSPy. From rockstar concert planning to smart agricultural water management, discover how these innovative projects bridged the gap between academic theory and creative game design.
Optimizing Weather Radar Networks for Texas: The Winning GAMSPy Student Competition Fall 2025 Project

Feb 8, 2026 Gamspy Python
We are happy to present the winning project of our GAMSPy Student Competition Fall 2025. Nikhil Trivedi, an undergraduate student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, took first place with a project that tackles the critical meteorological challenge of improving early warning systems. Framing the problem as a Facility Location Problem (FLP), Nikhil took an innovative approach that combined physics and optimization in GAMSPy.
Optimizing the Perfect Day at Disneyland: The Winning GAMSPy Student Competition Project

May 14, 2025 Gamspy Python
We are happy to present the winning project of our 2024/2025 GAMSPy Student Competition. Yiheng Su, a PhD student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, developed an optimization model to plan the most efficient and enjoyable day at Disneyland Magic Kingdom. Inspired by a personal trip, Su applied mixed-integer programming, data preprocessing, and visualization to create a smart route planner that balances time, ride popularity, and unpredictability. This project is the perfect example of a full-stack approach to modeling and decision-making under constraints, and showcases the practical power and accessibility of GAMSPy for solving real-life challenges.
