PhD Studentship: A Co-operative Algorithm Framework for Solving Large-Scale
Heterogeneous Problems with Multiple Objectives


A PhD project funded by a generous scholarship drawing together ideas on
co-operation in nature, co-operative game AI, and automatic algorithm design in
order to tackle large-scale challenges in optimising energy transition
technologies.

Interested in optimization algorithms for solving business, management,
operations research and industrial optimization problems with real-world
impact? Then this project is for you!
