In collaboration with Christian Blum from the University of the Basque Country, Günther Raidl wrote the Book Hybrid Metaheuristics – Powerful Tools for Optimization. The book is published by Springer in the series “Artificial Intelligence: Foundations, Theory, and Algorithms” and available in printed form as well as e-book.
Benjamin Biesinger successfully defended his PhD thesis “Complete Solution Archives for
Evolutionary Combinatorial Optimization” on June 3rd, 2016. Congratulations!
Benjamin was supervised by Günther Raidl (TU Wien).
The Vienna Graduate School in Computational Optimization offers Prae-Doc contracts for PhD candidates in different areas of optimization such as Combinatorial Optimization, Global Optimization, Heuristic Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization, Stochastic Optimization, Dynamic Optimization, Algorithmic Game Theory, Optimization for intelligent Data Analysis.
The doctoral program is a joint initiative between the University of Vienna, TU Wien, and the Institute of Science and Technology. Candidates must follow the rules for PhD studies at one of the aforementioned institutions and participate in the joint teaching and research program.
The program starts on October 1, 2016. Applications
One of the most advanced medical centers for Ion Beam Therapy and Research in Europe is currently being built in Wiener Neustadt: MedAustron. The radiation therapies applied will use protons and carbon ions for cancer treatment. The first patient treatments are planned in 2016. In the full operational phase up to 1,200 people per year are expected to benefit from the international first class medicine offered by MedAustron.
