PhD Position in Algorithms and Computational Geometry at University of Lugano, Switzerland | |
| Workplace | Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland |
| Category | Computer Science Mathematics |
| Position | PhD Program |
| Occupation rate | 100% |
|
At the Faculty of Informatics, University of Lugano, Switzerland, there is an immediate opening for a PhD student in Computer Science in the area of Algorithms and Computational Geometry under a project entitled: “Generalized Voronoi diagrams of polygonal objects: algorithms and applications”. The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation for a time period of three years (extension possible). More positions in the area of Algorithms may become available this spring. | |
DescriptionThis project will investigate open problems on generalized Voronoi diagrams of polygonal objects as motivated by concrete applications. Voronoi diagrams are among the most fundamental structures in Computational Geometry and they have proved to be powerful tools in solving diverse and seemingly unrelated computational problems. Research will combine the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, combinatorial issues, as well as implementation and application issues.

RequirementsApplicants should have a Masters degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) and an affinity with algorithms. Some experience in implementation and experimentation is expected. Candidates with a strong background in the design and analysis of algorithms will be preferred. Fluency in English is required.
