- Establishing standardised benchmarks and performance metrics for quantum optimisation techniques
- Participate in relevant technical committees, consider the usage of standards, and contribute to standardisation documents
- Present findings at international events

The research activities will be hosted by the Parallel Computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) at SnT, headed by Dr. Grégoire Danoy. PCOG specializes in optimization techniques, with a focus on distributed computing and AI-driven solutions PCOG conducts research in parallel computing, search and optimisation techniques, to provide efficient, scalable and robust solutions to state-of-the-art, large-scale discrete/combinatorial problems. Detailed information about the group can be found on PCOG website.

**Your profile**:

- (Quantum) Optimisation algorithms
- (Quantum) Machine learning algorithms
- Algorithmics
- Parallel/Distributed computing
