Optimisation

The optimisation research group at NICTA VRL, led by Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck, at the University of Melbourne is recognised as a world-class team with pioneering contributions in fields such as constraint programming, hybrid optimisation, and planning. The group currently offers attractive PhD scholarships for high-calibre students interested in contributing to their research effort. The group focuses on grand challenges in disaster management, future energy systems, and multi-modal supply chains. Fundamental and applied research is conducted in continuous and discrete optimisation, decision making under uncertainty, simulation and 3D-visualisation, and algorithmic decision theory. Optimisation and decision-support platforms are being developed that will bring unprecedented support for decision making in complex environments.
