University of Science and Technology of China (USTC)

Several of our staff members come from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) [中国科学技术大学], so it is no wonder that we have strong research ties and collaborations to this university. Prof. Dr. Thomas Weise was a PostDoc and subsequently Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology [计算机科学与技术学院] of USTC, where Dr. Zhize Wu obtained his PhD. But there are also several active ongoing collaborations with USTC researchers.

With Assoc. Prof. Jinlong LI [李金龙] of the School of Computer Science and Technology [计算机科学与技术学院] of USTC, we have worked on a wide variety of classical optimization problems, including the Cutting Stock Problem and the Set Covering Problem as well as in the field of Evolutionary Algorithms. Jinlong is also member of the program committee of both our DD-BBOB workshops in 2018, BB-DOB@GECCO and BB-DOB@PPSN.

With Prof. Bin LI [李斌] of the School of Information Science and Technology [信息科学技术学院] of USTC, we have worked on a set of applied numerical optimization tasks and, most recently, on the benchmarking of optimization algorithms. Prof. Bin LI also co-chairs our Workshop on Benchmarking of Computational Intelligence Algorithms in 2018 and is co-guest editor of our Special Issue on Benchmarking of Computational Intelligence Algorithms in the Computational Intelligence Journal as well as member of the program committee of both our DD-BBOB workshops in 2018, BB-DOB@GECCO and BB-DOB@PPSN. He also hosts our supervised Master's student Ms. Qi Qi.

Finally, Prof. Thomas Weise is a team member of the project NSFC-funded research project "Operations Management in Compact Storage System Supply Chains in the Environment of Internet of Things," led by principal investigator Prof. Yugang YU [余玉刚] of the Department of Management Science [管理科学系] of USTC.
