Optimization & Algorithmic Theory Laboratory (OAT Lab) at James Madison University


OAT Lab Logo

The JMU Optimization & Algorithmic Theory (OAT) Lab conducts research at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Our projects range from the development and theoretical analysis of new algorithms, to the efficient programming of promising algorithms to solve real-world problems. Most student projects can be tailored to meet interests in mathematics, data science, image processing, digital audio processing, computational geometry, machine learning, biology, or portfolio management.

Our work is supported by James Madison University and (effective September 1, 2025) the National Science Foundation.
