Hoai-Phuong (Helen) Le
I am a PhD candidate of the Mathematics for Real-World Systems Centre for Doctoral Training programme at the University of Warwick. My research interests are Machine Learning, Mathematical Modelling and Operational Research.
I did my first degree in Pure Mathematics and Master of Science in Financial Management in Russian. Beside my mother tongue (Vietnamese) and English, I can speak Russian fluently.
I'm currently doing research on applying Bayesian Optimisation in searching for solutions that are robust to disturbances or that can work in different environments under the supervision of Prof Juergen Branke from Warwick Business School.
