    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 3 months
    Deadline to apply: 2025-12-26
    Description

    ONE (1) research grant for students with MSc degree with reference number BI|2025/819 under the scope of the Project FLORA with the ref. 2023.14280.PEX, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia I.P., is now available under the following conditions:

     

    OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS 

    In many optimization problems, it is common to have several objective functions. However, defining an ordering of preference among these objectives might not be straightforward. In these contexts, a multi-objective optimization formulation arises with multiple Pareto-optimal solutions.

    The goal of this work is to develop new algorithms and tools to find a subset of optimal solutions that are representatives of a much larger set of Pareto-optimal solutions. To find these representatives, well-known quality indicators such as IGD+ and epsilon-indicator will be used to drive the search.
