Biography
Deepak Mehta received his PhD in computer science from University College Cork in 2009 for his work in the field of constraint programming. His PhD work was supported by Boole Center for Research in Informatics, University College Cork. During his PhD he won the first constraint programming solver competition (in binary category). He has been working as a research scientist in Cork Constraint Computation Center since March 2007. He worked on the project on personalization of context-aware telecommunication services for three years from March 2007 to March 2010. This project was funded by IRCSET-Embark Initiative and British Telecom. From March 2010 onwards he has been working on a project on optimisation problems in the design of future optical network architectures. This work is being undertaken in CTVR which is a multi-site, multi-disciplinary centre, led by Trinity College Dublin. Recently, he worked on Google-ROADEF/EURO 2012 Challenge where he was the first runner up with Barry O'Sullivan and Helmut Simonis.
Research Interests
I am interested in solving very large combinatorial optimization problems arising in the domains of telecommunication networks, data-centres, bioinformatics etc. My research focuses on developing Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research techniques that are scalable for solving very large problems.
