"I've been studying my PhD for 5 years in UW-Madison. Just can say, the best university in the World. My advisor is super nice and very helpful. The equipment that I have access to is awesome, strong computers, large library with access to journals, and very beautiful natural environment next to a lake, all make UW-Madison one of the best in the world. The optimization group in Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is a mix of experts from different areas of optimization."
