[Research Theme] Cutting and Packing. [Description] 
We are conducting research into a variety of stock cutting problems. These include the knapsack problem, regular and irregular 2-dimensional nesting, and other stock cutting variants. We are looking at placement algorithms, case-based reasoning approaches and other current techniques to solve such problems whilst also developing new heuristics and metaheuristics to reduce the size of the search space and produce good solutions. Our research is particularly relevent to the manufacturing industry, so we are closely working with a local company so that our research can be implemented for real world applications.
