Emir Demirović
Dobrodošli! I am a PhD student in the Database and Artificial Intelligence Group at Vienna University of Technology, supervised by Nysret Musliu, funded by the Vienna PhD School of Informatics. I am mostly interested in Combinatorial Optimization, currently focusing on High School Timetabling problems. I obtained my Bachelor degree in Computer Science in 2010 at the Electrical Engineering faculty from University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2012, I received my Master degree in Theoretical Computer Science at the Faculty of Natural Sciences from the same university and started my PhD in Vienna right after. During this time, I have also studied Musical Composition at the Academy of Music in Sarajevo, supervised by Ališer Sijarić, but these studies are currently on hold due to the PhD.
Research interests
- Combinatorial Optimization.
- focus on scheduling and high school timetabling.
- Metaheuristic algorithms.
- E.g. local search, large neighborhood search, and others.
- Programming paradigms and modeling.
- satisfiability (SAT), constraint programming (CP), integer programming (IP).
- Multi-objective optimization.
- Advanced algorithms and data structures.
- Mathematics.
- especially complexity theory, discrete, and numerical mathematics.
- General computer programming and implementation (most C/C++).
Secondary interests
- Parallel programming.
- Scientific computation related to physical fluid-like simulaions.
- Database programming (MySql, Oracle).
- Image processing.
- Programming PLCsvia ladder diagrams.
