We welcome research proposals in topics relating to Operations Research and Computational Analytics in either our key application areas or our key research areas. Computational Analytics is the engineering behind data science and data-driven decision making in the real-world. Computational Analytics embeds this data into a mathematical/statistical model that enables the decision-making process to be automated and/or optimised. It utilises ideas from areas including mathematical modelling, optimisation, simulation, statistical modelling, decisions analysis, and data science to solve real-world problems.Īnalytics is the capture, management, organisation, and visualisation of data to inform better decision making. The University of Edinburgh School of Mathematics Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computation Doctor of Philosophy - PhD Operational Research MSc. Operations Research (OR) is the science of utilising advanced mathematical theory/computational methods to help make better decisions, and is one of the foundations of artificial intelligence. Operational Research and Cybernetics is the modern mathematics subject that studies the structure, operation, design and control of a variety of systems, and it. Our postgraduate doctoral programme has interests in global optimization, decomposition methods, parallel computing, industrial applications of optimization and stochastic optimization. Pursuing a PhD at our University gives you access to a high-calibre research community – you may have the opportunity to publish papers, attend international conferences and develop your network in academia and industry. Study PhD in Optimization & Operational Research at the University of Edinburgh.
