About this position
PhD opportunity at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China on maintenance routing problem in large industrial systems with spatial-temporal features. The project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science, mathematical modelling, industrial engineering, and computer science, with a strong operations research focus.
The research will develop data-driven methods to decide when and where maintenance is needed and how service resources can be routed efficiently across distributed assets in large systems such as logistics networks and smart grids. Methods mentioned include machine learning, reinforcement learning, contextual learning, and graph-based modelling, using sensor, operational, and environmental data. The project emphasizes spatial-temporal relationships and computationally manageable optimization for large-scale decision-making.
This is a funded PhD studentship for three years. Funding covers tuition fees and includes conference support up to RMB 16,500. The scholarship holder will mainly conduct research at XJTLU in Suzhou, with a possible short-term visit to the University of Liverpool if required.
