[DMANET] MSc/PhD positions in Quantum Computing, Graph Algorithms, Machine Learning, University of Delaware

We are looking for excellent candidates for M.Sc. and Ph.D. positions in
the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of
Delaware. Students will work under the supervision of Dr. Ilya Safro in
three research areas. Some projects will include collaboration with
national labs including internships.

Research Area 1: Quantum computing for graph algorithms, machine
learning, and mathematical optimization. The ideal candidate should have
a basic background in theoretical computer science, discrete
mathematics, algorithms, principles of machine learning, numerical
methods, and linear algebra.

Research Area 2: Graph algorithms, combinatorial scientific computing,
large-scale optimization, network science. The ideal candidate should
have a basic background in algorithms, theoretical computer science and
graph/network libraries (such as Boost Graph Library, GraphBLAS, and
NetworkX).

Research Area 3: AI, machine learning and knowledge discovery with
applications in natural language processing and text mining. The ideal
candidate should have a basic background in machine learning (including
deep learning). Some experience with Tensorflow, Keras or other machine
learning libraries and high-performance computing will be considered as
an advantage.
