PhD Supervision

If you are interested in doing a PhD under my supervision, please email me at daniel.karapetyan@nottingham.ac.uk. There is also an option of joint supervision with another academic from the School of Computer Science or another department.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to

  • Artificial intelligence, particularly automated design of search algorithms
  • Data science and machine learning, particularly interpretability and hyper-parameter optimisation
  • Off-the-shelf solvers and problem formulations (mixed integer programming, constraint satisfaction, SAT, etc.)
  • Combinatorial search and optimisation; operational research; heuristics and metaheuristics

Some of the areas of application I worked on include:

  • Scheduling
  • Public transport including passenger ferries and aircraft
  • Routing
  • Access control
  • Resource allocation
  • Electric vehicles
  • Agriculture
