We are pleased to extend the invitation to the doctoral thesis defense “A Framework for the Long-Term Planning of Infrastructure Based on Flexibility” by doctoral candidate Samuel Torres Rincon. The defense will take place this Thursday, May 30, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in both virtual and in-person modalities (Hemiciclo 001, Lleras Hall 001).
A Framework for the Long-Term Planning of Infrastructure Based on Flexibility
This thesis presents a framework for infrastructure planning and design under conditions of deep uncertainty based on the concept of flexibility. The proposed framework combines techniques for decision-making under uncertainty (exploratory simulation and scenario discovery) with reinforcement learning algorithms. The use of these techniques allows a better understanding of the long-term consequences of design decisions by simulating interactions between the system and a wide variety of external conditions and provides support tools to explore the space of adaptive designs and policies in an efficient way.
We invite all interested parties to participate in this event in the following modalities:
- In-person: Hemiciclo 001, Lleras Hall 001.
- Virtual: Access through the following link.
We look forward to your participation!
