That's interesting, my PhD is in an engineering field and projects have included a lot of what you mentioned ('graph theory, markov chains, ... cluster analysis and signal processing'...). I just went through a job search and couldn't find anyone very interested in these skills, so I'm back in another postdoc. Any advice on companies/industries specific to those types of methods?
- n4r9 9y agoThere are a lot of interesting problems in vehicle routing, route optimisation and GPS data processing. There often aren't good libraries which solve them with enough flexibility and performance, and better algorithms are being researched and published all the time. Thus it's quite common for companies to develop in house solutions. A blog post by food delivery comoany Ocado [0] was posted on HN a while back, and I'm sure companies like CityMapper and Strava that work with maps (as well as Google and Bing of course) are constantly trying to improve their algorithms.
