Welcome to my web page!

My name is Dimo Brockhoff and I am currently chargé de recherche ("CRN") at Inria Saclay - Ile-de-France and at CMAP, Ecole Polytechnique in the RandOpt team.

PhD position available

Within our Randopt team, we currently have two open PhD positions, both funded by industry. Both have the goal to design and implement new stochastic blackbox optimizers. In one case with a focus on multiobjective and surrogate-based optimization and in the other for single-objective optimization. If you are interested or happen to know somebody who might be, please contact me.
