PhD Position F/M Decision dependent in optimization under uncertainty

This thesis is proposed within the context of project DDROP (Decision Dependent Robust Optimization Problems) funded by ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) under the grant number ANR-24-CE48-3565. 

This is a multi-partner project between Inria-Bordeaux, Essec Business School-Paris and LIRMM laboratory of Montpeliier. 

The recruited person will integrate team EDGE of Inria-Bordeaux and work closely with Ayse N. Arslan and Boris Detienne which will assume the supervision of the thesis. 

The project will involve regular online meetings with partners. Research visits to Paris and/or Montpellier can be envisioned. 

The recruited person will collaborate closely with Ayse Arslan (research scientist) and Boris Detienne (associate professor).

They will be in charge of studying the state of the art, proposing and developing novel methodologies, developing algorithmic prototypes, performing numerical tests and diffusing the results.
