PhD Positions in Stochastic Optimization at Purdue University

Fully funded PhD positions are available in the Operations Research area within the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University. The research group develops adaptive stochastic optimization methods with rigorous guarantees, focusing on high-probability complexity analysis under noisy, biased, or heavy-tailed oracles, as well as algorithms for smooth and nonsmooth nonlinear problems. Applications span machine learning and healthcare.

Requirements

• Strong background in mathematics, probability/statistics, and optimization
• Prior relevant research experience (a plus)

Funding

Positions are fully funded through assistantships and fellowships.

How to Apply

Submit an application to the Purdue IE PhD program by the application deadline and mention the supervisor’s name in the application. Program details: Purdue IE PhD Program.

Informal inquiries with a CV and transcript are welcome at miaolanx@purdue.edu.
