At our TFNetworkSpring21 conference on "Creating Value for Economies: Collaborate - Innovate - Educate".
He previously held faculty positions at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Nottingham, working extensively within the partnerships of these two organisations in China. He holds a BSc, MSc and PhD in Computer Science and is a professional member of the ACM and IEEE.
His research interests lie at the interface between Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Operational Research, focusing on metaheuristic and evolutionary computation methods for real-world scheduling problems. Previous research has centred on maintenance scheduling for real-world infrastructure networks in the context of railways and telecommunications, in partnership with Banedanmark and British Telecom respectively, developing intelligent decision support systems to facilitate efficient allocation of resources for such problems.
He has published over 30 papers in SCI-indexed leading conferences and journals in the fields of Computer Science and Operational Research, including European Journal of Operational Research (Elsevier), Computers & Operations Research (Elsevier) and Evolutionary Computation (MIT Press).
He is currently a co-investigator on OR-MASTER (EP/M020258/1), a £2.3M EPSRC programme grant project focused on reducing congestion at airports.
Synopsis: Having attended the first Tommy Flowers conference in early 2017, and almost every one since, I now consider myself somewhat of a veteran! This talk will cover my journey from PGR to faculty member (and visiting researcher at BT), via the Tommy Flowers Network, offering some observations and advice to budding PGRs based on some of the experiences I had and the lessons I learnt along the way.
