Dr Vicky Mak-Hau completed a PhD in 2002 at The University of Melbourne in the area of combinatorial
optimisation. Following her PhD degree, she worked at the Mathematical and Information Sciences
Division, CSIRO, and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Melbourne, as a
research fellow. In 2004, she joined Deakin University as a lecturer. Her research interests include
integer programming, polyhedral combinatorics, and decomposition algorithms.

Research interests

  1. Exact and heuristics methods in combinatorial optimisation
  2. Vehicle routing, machine scheduling, wireless sensor network optimisation
  3. Treatment planning optimization in radiotherapy
