Advanced Solution Techniques to Multi‐Component Optimisation Problems
This project addresses the Travelling Thief Problem, a benchmark multi-component nonlinear combinatorial optimisation problem. Problems of this class consist of several computationally challenging sub-problems of different nature. Solving them requires a thorough understanding of both their compounded and their individual natures. We focus on developing new superior approximate and exact solution techniques to the problem. The first part of the project constructs an efficient heuristic by adopting a probabilistic model-building evolutionary algorithm. The second part benefits from the first one and designs a logic-based Benders decomposition framework to provide a time-efficient exact solution to the problem of moderate size.

Duong Thuy Dung (Amie) Le is a third-year student at the Deakin University, studying a Bachelor of Information Technology, majoring in App Development and Programming. Participating in Competitive Programming since high school creates her interest and strength in Data Structure and Algorithm.
She has interests in exploring vary of optimisation techniques to solving highly complex and challenging optimisation problems. She would like to proceed with an Honours/Master and later a PhD degree in related fields.
When she is not glued to the computer, she spends time with her family and friends or wanders around the parks.
