From Prompt to Plan: Agentic Interfaces for Human-in-the-Loop Operations Research

Scope

Build an agentic orchestration layer that translates natural‑language prompts into solver actions, learns user preferences, and enables near‑real‑time, planner‑in‑the‑loop re‑optimization for complex OR problems.

What you’ll do

Prototype parser agents, wire up solver APIs, design preference‑learning feedback loops, and optimize latency/UX for trustworthy, explainable outputs.

Profile

Excellent Python
Enthusiasm for mathematical optimization (MILP/CP/SAT)
Familiarity with modern LLM tooling (function‑calling / agent frameworks)
Bonus: basic DevOps or front‑end
Curiosity, initiative, and collaborative mindset

Details

Zurich‑based, mostly in‑person preferred.
Start: As soon as possible
Co‑supervised with Prof. Menna El‑Assady and IVIA Lab @ ETH Zurich
