15 Doctoral Student Positions Available
on the subject of Polynomial Optimization, Efficiency through Moments and Algebra
at eleven European Research Institutes and Universitites
The Innovative Training Network POEMA is hiring 15 Doctoral Students starting from September 2019. The proposed projects will be investigating the development of new algebraic and geometric methods combined with computer algebra techniques for global non-linear optimization problems. Applications will focus on smarter cities challenges, urban traffic management, water network management, energy flow control, or environmental monitoring.
