PhD student position in Computer Science, Delft (The Netherlands)

PhD position in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Delft 
University of Technology in a challenging project on algorithms for 
scheduling under uncertainty, and making these work for the Dutch Railways 
(NS)

Are you interested in developing new algorithms, extending 
state-of-the-art AI techniques, and prepared to take-on a real-life 
problem involving trains?

Join us in a team that considers the operational scheduling of matching 
arriving train units at a yard to departures, and their routing, shunting, 
cleaning and maintenance and repair. Given the time tables of the involved 
railway companies, a plan has to be made for this rolling stock as well as 
for the people involved. As the number of train units grows, these plans 
will need to use all resources available (tracks, people), which makes the 
problem of finding feasible plans more and more difficult.

The main tasks for the PhD student are to work on algorithms and 
artificial intelligence techniques from the fields of constraint 
programming, mathematical optimisation, evolutionary algorithms and/or 
reinforcement learning to solve such scheduling problems, and to deepen 
our understanding of these techniques and how they can be successfully 
combined.
