The student is expected to know some skills of programming like Python, MatLab or R
software and Metaheurtics algorithms (is able to learn it quickly if s/he does not know).
The student will write many computer programs by using Matlab or R software or Java
and he will apply various Ant Colony Optimization algorithms, Hybrid Genetic Particle
Swarm Optimization Algorithm, and Hybrid Simulated Annealing to datasets from UCI.
He will compare these algorithms with each other algorithms. Also, students will help in
writing a report and graph as research assistants. After I am going to propose a new
metaheuristic algorithm and show this proposed algorithm is outperforms other
algorithms in the literature. Our target is to get this work published in refereed journals
and present it at a conference.
The student will repurpose a set of existing math exercises in Mobius, offer them to a

The applicant will perform the following tasks: - Literature review and bibliometrics
analysis to develop the suitable data set to draw from for the development of a Machine
learning algorithm. - Perform review of selected data for the required information and
transform it through scaling, normalization and feature selection. - Develop machine
learning models employing supervised learning techniques, particularly regression
analysis to predict new outcomes based on provided values. - Perform model validation
using training sets as well as in-lab experiments to determine if the models predicted
outcomes match actual results. - Additionally, performance of the various models will be
assessed using statistical techniques including mean absolute error (MAE), mean
square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination
(R2). These quantitative results will allow for objective evaluation and identification of
any areas of a model that need improvement or further refinement. - This research will
result in 1 to 2 publications that will impact both individuals in the field of
nanotechnology and machine learning. The applicant will write research articles in
collaboration with the supervisor and graduate students.
