[Opt-Net] Deadline: 17th September – Full UK PhD scholarships in operational research/ evolutionary computation/optimisation/simulation/computational intelligence/data analytics/IoT/transportation/logistics

[Nguyen, Trung Thanh]

Dear Colleagues,

My apologies for cross-posting.

Thanks to an arisen opportunity, we at the Operational Research (OR) group, Liverpool John Moores University (United Kingdom) may be able to offer a small number of PhD scholarships (full or tuition-fees-only depending on the quality of the candidate).

At the moment the scholarships are for UK/EU/settled students only (we hope we will have one for international students soon):

     *   Deadline 17th September 2020. Results to be known in October 2020.
     *   provide full tuition fees for three years and,
     *   living expenses + running cost cover of over £16,500 each year (to be determined) for 3 years
     *   students have to enrol in January/February 2021
     *   Brexit will not have any impact on these scholarships
Regarding research topic, any area in OR/optimisation/simulation/data analytics/computational intelligence/IoT/ transportation/logistics would be acceptable. Please have a look at this link for some examples of our current/past projects on air quality and green transportation https://tinyurl.com/y67eddrw . Other projects that we have been/ are running include:

  *   Evolutionary computation or meta-heuristics or heuristics
  *   OR/optimisation/simulation/data analytics applications in rail, in partnership with Merseyrail, Network Rail, and Rail Delivery Group
  *   OR applications/data analytics in maritime, in partnership with UK, EU and overseas ports
  *   OR applications/data analytics in sustainable transportation, e.g. bicycle, e-bikes, walking, buses, emission/congestion reduction etc., in partnership with local authorities and transport authorities (e.g. the ones in Liverpool and Manchester)
  *   OR applications in logistics (e.g. bin packing, vehicle routing etc.) in partnership with logistics companies, especially those in airports, ports, and manufacturing plants (especially those in Liverpool).
  *   OR applications in manufacturing, in partnership with car manufacturers e.g. Vauxhall and Jaguar Land Rover.
  *   IoT and intelligent sensors for active travel. We have developed a number of applications on this and already have a network of IoT sensors across Liverpool City Region.

Interested candidates please contact Dr. Trung Thanh Nguyen T.T.Nguyen at ljmu.ac.uk<mailto:T.T.Nguyen at ljmu.ac.uk> with your full CV and transcripts. It is important that interested candidates contact me ASAP to ensure that we can prepare your applications in the best way to maximise your chance before the deadline of 17th September.

Could you please forward this to any interested and eligible candidates?

Thank you very much

Best regards
