PhD Positions in Political Science in Denmark

DTU Compute is offering a PhD scholarship focused on developing machine-learning methods for faster analysis and optimization of cyber-physical systems. The project will connect learned prediction models with optimization methods to address analytical calculations and simulations that are too expensive to evaluate repeatedly within practical computing budgets. The PhD researcher will develop surrogate models for predicting outputs such as execution delays, energy use, and resource demands. Machi...
