Describe a design problem of your interest (in 400-500 words) where optimization can be applied to enrich the design. It could be a problem you are currently working on (

e.g.

, Capstone design) or a problem you plan to work on. Clearly define the scope of applying optimization and the expected improvement in that context. Doctoral students are strongly recommended to identify a problem that is closely related to their principal area of research.
