Research Assistant in Computer and Systems Sciences (fixed-term employment) - Stockholm University

Research Assistant in Computer and Systems Sciences (fixed-term employment)

at The Department of Computer and Systems Sciences

The Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) is one of the oldest IT departments in Sweden and one of the largest departments at Stockholm University with around 5,000 students and around 190 employees. The discipline of computer and systems sciences bridges the gap between technology and the humanities, social sciences, and behavioral sciences. The use and design of IT is put in context in relation to people, organizations, and society. DSV offers a stimulating research environment in an international setting.]

Main responsibilities
The Nordic countries have committed to ambitious climate targets, e.g., zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by the year 2045. Given that power sectors in the Nordic region are deregulated, bi-level models are the state of the art for analysing decision-making problems therein with conflicting objectives, e.g., a transmission planner that invests in network capacity subject to industry equilibria at the lower level.

This project will tailor solution methods for tackling realistic yet computationally demanding problem instances necessary to inform transmission planning in the Nordic power sector. Relevant methods include (i) reformulations that exploit the problem’s mathematical structure, e.g., parametric programming, and (ii) division of the problem into tractable parts that can be solved independently and recombined into a solution, i.e., decomposition.
