I am looking for bright and motivated PhD students who want to work in the area of computational optimization, quantum optimization, or both. If you are interested in applying to our program to pursue a PhD in these areas, feel free to send me an email. Some of the areas of current interest with available projects are:
- Quantum optimization algorithms.
- GPU-enabled computational optimization.
- Mixed-integer derivative-free optimization.
