* Efficient integer programming formulations for solving routing problems in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN)
* Algorithms, complexity, and formulations for robust extensive-form games (REFG)
Both positions are funded by ANR grants, which offers some freedom in the exact defintions of the topics. The first position will be co-advised by Olivier De Jonckère and Michaël Poss, while the second one will be co-advised by Rosa Figueiredo (Avignon Université) and Michaël Poss, with possible interaction with Orange.
An excellent Masters degree - either already obtained or to be completed soon - in (Applied) Mathematics, Computer Science, Operations Research, Engineering or related field is required. Affinity with optimization, algorithms, or discrete mathematics is preferred. In particular, background in algorithms and complexity, or mathematical optimization is appreciated. In addition, the first position (DTN) will involve efficient coding, so experience with programming is important, while the second one (REFG) will be more theoretical, and knowledge of robust optimization and/or game theory would be beneficial.
The research will be carried out within team MAORE, the Operations Research team of the CS laboratory LIRMM, https://www.lirmm.fr/lirmm-en/.
Interested individuals should send their application to Michaël Poss, with the subject « Application for PhD Position on DTN / REFG » (keep one of the two acronyms), containing the following items: (i) a detailed CV, (ii) academic transcripts (including Bachelor & Master's/Engineering courses and rankings), and (iii) up to two reference letters from individuals who have supervised or worked closely with the applicant.
