<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">One of the research groups of the faculty (mentioned in the announcement) is Multiobjective Optimization Group (part of the computational science area) that works on multiobjective optimization as well as decision/prescriptive
analytics and data-driven optimization. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome new, talented members to the Multiobjective Optimization Group. The group develops methods for supporting decision making in the presence of multiple conflicting objective functions. Therefore, knowledge of
multiobjective optimization is required. The group develops methods as well as software and works with various applications of multiobjective optimization (in a broad range of domains). Examples of our research interests are interactive scalarization based
and evolutionary methods and their hybrids. We work with both simulation-based (also computationally expensive) and data-driven problems. We also develop visualizations and apply artificial intelligence, machine learning tools and explainability as a part
of the decision support processes. We are interested in supporting a single decision maker as well as groups of decision makers and deal with both deterministic problems and problems under (deep) uncertainty. We are developing an open-source software framework
DESDEO for interactive multiobjective optimization methods (desdeo.it.jyu.fi). Furthermore, we are actively involved in a profiling (thematic research) area called Decision Analytics utilizing Causal Models and Multiobjective Optimization (DEMO, referred to
in the above-mentioned announcement as “Data Science and Decision-making<span style="color:black;background:white">”)</span>, where the objective is to support data-driven decision making.
