Dr Radislav Vaisman
Lecturer, Associate Investigator
I am a Lecturer in Data Science in the School of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Queensland. My research lies in the field of applied probability, stochastic simulation and machine learning. In particular, I am interested in the rare-events. These events are of great interest in many areas such as theoretical computer science, optimization and counting
Research Interests:
Advanced Monte Carlo Methods for rare event estimation
Combinatorial Optimization and Counting
Data Science
Design analysis and implementation of algorithms
Evolutionary computation
Machine Learning
Network reliability
Stochastic Simulation and Applied Probability
