Personal profile
Research overview
Personal homepage: https://ndangtt.github.io/
Broadly speaking, my research interests lie in the intersection between machine learning and optimisation. I am particularly interested in automated algorithm configuration/design, where the aim is to leverage machine learning to automate the development of optimisation algorithms. One of my current research focuses is deep reinforcement learning for Dynamic Algorithm Configuration.
I am also interested and have been working intensively on constraint modelling and solving, where I focus on integrating machine learning and automated algorithm configuration techniques into constraint programming.
