Postdoc positions in machine learning & optimization in National University of Singapore

Country/Region : Singapore

Website : http://bschool.nus.edu/staff/dscsimm

Description

Two postdoctoral researchers positions are available in Huan Xu's group in NUS, working in the area of machine learning, robust optimization and their intersections. The positions are funded through a project on robust Markov decision processes, which involves tools from machine learning, statistics, optimization and probability, led by Prof. Huan Xu, Prof. Melvyn Sim and Prof. Panida Jirutitijaroen from the National University of Singapore, starting as early as Feb 2015. However, beyond the research project, the researchers are encouraged to explore other research directions in machine learning and operations research. Interested applicants please email to Prof. Xu at mpexuh-AT-nus.edu.sg.
Ideally, an applicant should have relevant research exposure in machine learning, operations research or statistics, and have solid mathematical ability. We expect an applicant to have strong research ability demonstrated from publication in high profile venue in relevant fields. The applicants must be highly motivated and self-driven, eager to learn new tools and new methodologies. Additionally, knowledge and expertise in MDP and reinforcement learning is preferred but not required.
About the PI (Huan Xu): I am an assistant Professor in the department of mechanical engineering in the National University of Singapore. My current research interest focus on learning and decision-making in large-scale complex systems. Specifically, I have done work in machine learning, high-dimensional statistics (e.g., Lasso, robust PCA etc), robust and adaptable optimization, Markov decision processes, and application in E-commerce, social network analysis and electricity power system. My research has been published in journals including Operations Research, Mathematics of Operations Research, IEEE Infomation Theory, JMLR, as well as top tier conferences (ICML/NIPS/COLT). I am currently an associate editor of IEEE Transactions of Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. More details of my research can be found in my website http://guppy.mpe.nus.edu.sg/~mpexuh/
The information of the co-PIs can be found in the following websites.
