Who's interested in a fully-funded PhD position in Algorithm Engineering? ?? The topics should be super interesting and your dissertation will be supervised by the excellent Thomas van Dijk ?? This is a massive opportunity! I have a fully funded PhD vacancy "Algorithm Engineering" at TU Eindhoven. Come work with me :)About the project: https://lnkd.in/gnWV6JKyApply: https://edu.nl/btffq---As a PhD TA candidate you will develop new models, algorithms and systems to help with the design and planning challenges of the energy transition. In particular, you will look at this from the perspective of combinatorial and geometric optimization (e.g. fitting solar panels, routing power distribution lines). In many cases, classical algorithms exist that solve a simplified version of the problem, but they are rarely realistic enough to give results that can be used in the real world. You will develop more practical solutions, which will involve algorithm design, analysis and engineering.You will be employed in the Algorithms (ALGO) cluster, which studies the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures, one of the core areas within computer science. Research in our cluster ranges from curiosity-driven to motivated by concrete applications, and from purely theoretical to experimental. In all cases, the goal is to understand the underlying principles of the developed solutions and to formally prove their properties. Our approaches frequently combine the rigorous methods from algorithmic theory – which give performance guarantees with respect to both the quality of solutions and the running time of algorithms – with efficient engineering to achieve results of both theoretical and practical significance.The PhD TA position is for 5 years with 25% of your time spent on education.…more
