A full-time PhD research studentship, including full stipend and tuition fee costs, is available for 4 years starting September 2023. The PhD student will conduct research as part of the EPSRC Industrial CASE Award-funded project “Co-op-Solve-M: A Co-operative Algorithm Framework for Solving Large-Scale Heterogeneous Problems with Multiple Objectives”.  

EPSRC Industrial CASE Awards are flagship collaboration projects between industry and academia, aiming to create the research scientists of tomorrow and deliver real value to all stakeholders. This project is only available for UK (Home) students.

The theme of the PhD project:

Rapid developments needed in new energy technologies (e.g. for scalable generation plants that can provide a continuous supply) will depend upon solving linked and large-scale global optimization problems. Whereas algorithms for academic benchmark problems are well-studied, progress in more realistic optimization settings is being stifled by a lack of deep understanding. Most real problems are multi-objective and are composites of several problem types, and what’s needed is a deep dive into how to efficiently solve such problems cooperatively. There are a number of distinct but related research threads that can be brought together to tackle this challenge and make progress. These include using teams of single-objective solvers to cooperatively tackle multiobjective problems; automatic algorithm configuration and selection methods that can combine and tune algorithmic components; and so-called 'interwoven’ problems. Our aim will be to discover common principles among these ideas and bring them together into a new paradigm.

For more details about this project, please see the webpage: https://lopez-ibanez.eu/icase-phd-2023  

Supervision:

The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Manuel López-Ibáñez (The University of Manchester). Prof Joshua Knowles (SLB) will act as external supervisor and lead the industrial input into this research. 

The University of Manchester (UoM) has a strong academic track record in AI and Optimization with staff publishing in leading international academic journals and conferences. UoM is also a University Partner of The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Nature of the studentship:

The studentship will commence in September 2023 and will be available for four years, with a stipend equivalent to UKRI rates (the rate was £17,668 tax-free for 2022/23; this is subject to change for future years), plus a top-up stipend from SLB, resulting in an annual stipend of at least £20,500 tax-free. In addition to this stipend, the scholarship covers full university tuition fees, and travel support for fieldwork, conferences and annual visits to SLB.

Entry Requirements:

Applications are sought from talented and motivated UK (Home) candidates with an academic background in at least one of these fields: Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Data Science, Machine Learning, Industrial / Business Engineering or Business Analytics.

Applicants must have a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (or equivalent) and hold or expect to obtain a Masters level qualification with Distinction.  English Language requirements (where required) are IELTS 7.0, TOEFL 623 (100 ibt), PTE 76.

Application:

Candidates should submit a PhD application for the PhD Business & Management, and indicate that they wish to be considered for the EPSRC/SLB INDUSTRIAL CASE PhD Studentship for “Co-op-Solve-M: A Co-operative Algorithm Framework for Solving Large-Scale Heterogeneous Problems with Multiple Objectives”. 

The application must contain the following: 
•    A research proposal (500-1000 words) related to the topic, and 
•    A written statement clearly indicating how your research competencies and interests to date are aligned with the specific nature of the PhD project.

A full-time PhD research studentship, including full stipend and tuition fees, is available for 4 years starting September 2023. The PhD student will conduct research as part of the EPSRC Industrial CASE Award-funded project “Mitigation of Reinforcement Learning Algorithms in Changing Environments”. EPSRC Industrial CASE Awards are flagship collaboration projects between industry and academia, aiming to create the research scientists of tomorrow and deliver real value to all stakeholders.

The theme of the PhD project

The development of (deep) Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms to train agents within game environments is well known. Agent training is typically conducted against a known, simplified, or constrained environment. However, the deployed environment is typically more complex and subject to some change and uncertainly not represented in the training environment.

RL algorithms typically characterise performance against probabilistic arenas, rather than being able to cope with an environment subject to change over time. The performance of the resulting RL agent can then be expected to become compromised over time, but not necessarily be catastrophic.

In this PhD project, we are concerned with (i) understanding this performance degradation and (ii) the development of mitigating strategies. More specifically, the project will focus on creating a train-and-test framework comprising a simulation engine for a dynamic environment and a configurable RL approach. In addition to considering changes in the environment, the simulator and RL agent will need to account for real-world challenges, such as multiple conflicting objectives, robustness, and safety issues.

The team at BAE Systems is focused on cutting-edge research in advanced simulation, optimization, and machine learning, and is thus invested in how RL can be extended to support decision-making in dynamic environments. The project will therefore contribute directly to BAE Systems’ ongoing research. From a scientific perspective, this project will lead to cross-disciplinary research and output that is of high quality and significance.

Due to the nature of this topic, candidates may be subject to a security check.

Supervision

The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Richard Allmendinger (Alliance MBS), Dr Theodore Papamarkou (Mathematics) and Dr Wei Pan (Computer Science), The University of Manchester. Simon Mettrick and Markus Deittert from BAE Systems will act as external supervisors and lead the industrial input into this research.

The University of Manchester (UoM) has a strong academic track record in AI and Optimization with staff publishing in leading international academic journals and conferences. UoM is also a University Partner of The Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Nature of the studentship

The studentship will commence in September 2023 and will be available for four years, with a stipend equivalent to UKRI rates (the rate was £16,062 tax-free for 2022/23; this is subject to change for future years), plus an industrial top-up stipend from BAE Systems, subject to contract. This also covers full university tuition fees, and travel support for fieldwork, conferences and annual visits to BAE Systems. This project is available for UK students but we are able to offer a limited number of scholarships that will enable full studentships to be awarded to European applicants.

Entry requirements

Applications are sought from talented and motivated Home and European candidates with an academic background in at least one of these fields: (Deep/multi-agent) reinforcement learning, deep learning, Gaussian processes, Bayesian optimization, transfer/online/meta-learning/safe/multitask learning, dynamic control.

Applicants must have a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (or equivalent) and hold or expect to obtain a Master's level qualification with Distinction. English Language requirements (where required) are IELTS 7.0, TOEFL 623 (100 ibt), PTE 76.

Application

Candidates should submit a PhD application for the PhD Business & Management, and indicate that they wish to be considered for the EPSRC/BAE Systems INDUSTRIAL CASE PhD Studentship for “Mitigation of Reinforcement Learning Algorithms in Changing Environments”.
