We believe in the law of causality—that every
problem has a cause.
We seek to find the root cause because that is
the source of the solution.
The only sustainable solution addresses the root
cause—beyond symptoms, beyond hearsay or
supposition…pure facts.

“Applied Optimization is a family type
of environment where we can roll up
our sleeves and get into the difficult
problems that are facing the country in
terms of technology both in space and
material sciences. We work on
problems that other people have not
been able to solve in a straightforward
way. We use principles of the scientific
method and the foundational
mathematical physics-based approach
to solve those problems.”
