Welcome to the Optima Group

We are Learning and Optimization for Machine Intelligence (Optima) research group at the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong. Our major research focus is to combine ideas and techniques from evolutionary computation, traditional mathematical programming and machine learning for designing efficient metaheuristic algorithms for dealing with hard search and optimization problems in fields ranging from engineering design to e-commence and management planning.

The group has an excellent research track record. The multiobjective evolutionary optimization algorithms based on decomposition (MOEA/D) developed by us has become one of the most widely used algorithmic framework in the area of multiobjective evolutionary computation. See Research for more.

We are grateful for the generous support from University Grants Committee (UGC), Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission (STIC), Huawei, and CATL.

We are looking for passionate new PhD students, Postdocs, and Master students to join the team (more info) !
