I will start by displaying a model of a free boundary problem which by now belongs to the folklore. Then, I will go over some well-known facts in regard to the Poisson problem with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Finally, I will introduce the optimization problems which will lead us to the aforementioned free boundary problems. Some open problems and intriguing questions will be shared as well.
