Network and Decision Systems (NDS)

Founded in 2020, our laboratory conducts research at the intersection of communication networks and operations research. We solve complex network problems by understanding them through the lenses of operations research. Novel solutions and insights are developed from rigorous analysis and experiments.

The current projects span various topics:
- Datacenter networks
- Age of information
- Federated learning
- Drone & IoT

Techniques used in these projects include (but are not limited to):
- Convex optimization
- Game theory
- Distributed algorithms
- Reinforcement learning

We are looking for highly motivated students, post-docs, research assistants, and interns with strong mathematical and programming backgrounds to join our team. Candidates could come from various disciplines, such as computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, and physics. Please don't hesitate to contact sucha.s [at] vistec.ac.th.
