We are pleased to announce that Elize has successfully passed her candidacy exam.

Elize’s research focusses on interactive design optimization schemes with the use of fast surrogate models. She develops fast, graph-based surrogate models to serve as the engine of the optimization loop, where they enable methods such as surrogate-assisted and gradient-based optimization.

We warmly congratulate Elize on this important milestone and wish her continued success in her research.
