The Artificial Intelligence and Optimisation (AIOP) research group promotes multi-disciplinary research in AI and optimization to find practical solutions to real-world problems. We are outward-looking and emphasize collaboration with external institutions and companies. Our research output has impact in many areas of industry, business, and society. In particular, we have targeted real-world problems in the fields of Transportation, Healthcare, and Finance. AIOP has recently established two labs: the Intelligent Simulation and Digital Port Lab (ISDP) and the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) lab.
AIOP currently has 25 academics, 1 senior software engineer, and over 40 PhD students. The full list of group members can be found here .
We hold regular informative AIOP research seminars each week, allowing us to share knowledge and updates in the fields of AI and optimization. In December 2019, we hosted the 9th Multidisciplinary International Scheduling conference: Theory and Applications (MISTA), welcoming about 200 scholars from 19 different countries and regions.
We have an AI Lab equipped with 10 high performance workstations (Dell Tower 7920, 2×NVIDIA 2080 Ti GPU included), 6 Huawei rack AI servers, each with 2×NVIDIA-Tesla V100 GPU cards, and 2 unmanned aerial vehicles for AI research, and facilities for AI related teaching.
