internship
Heuristics and algorithms for Mixed-Integer nonlinear programs.
why join artelys?
Artelys implements quantitative decision support solutions, using mathematical decision support models and algorithms: statistics, data analysis, artificial intelligence, numerical optimization and operations research. Our activities applied to the key sectors of Energy, Transport, Mobility, Health and more generally to the public sector place Artelys as a key player in the ecological transition through the support and advice it provides to private companies and public institutions.
Artelys offers a wide variety of services, including software solutions (optimization solvers, business specific solutions & specific software developments), consulting, project management assistance, training, etc. For instance, Artelys develops Artelys Knitro, a state-of-the-art solver for nonlinear and mixed-integer nonlinear optimization.
Description
The internship will focus on one of the following subjects:
Study the state of the art and design, implement and benchmark new heuristics for MINLP. Investigate algorithms and heuristic techniques for globalization in order to find a global optimum (or a better local optimum) on non-convex models.
The developed algorithms will be tested on various Mixed-Integer nonlinear programming applications from the literature in particular in the energy field with hydro energy system scheduling, gas transmission and compression, power system or water network optimization.
what we are looking for
The candidate must be in his/her last year of master’s degree in computer science and/or applied mathematics with a solid background in Operations Research.
Required skills:
- Knowledge of discrete optimization techniques, heuristics and meta-heuristics
- Programming in C and C++
- Fluent in English
Additional relevant skills:
Knowledge of convex optimization and nonlinear programming Knowledge of linear and mixed-Integer linear programming Combinatorial optimization, graph theory, computational complexity Skills in algorithms design and implementation Programming in Python, R, Java Fluent in French
Benefits
The intership will take place in our Paris office and may lead to a long-term job offer.
