Research Interests

  • In practice: Prescriptive Analytics and applications of mathematical modeling to a variety of problems, such as: product line simplification, scheduling (sports, crews, call centers, manufacturing), political districting, information display on maps, routing and transportation, location, and operations management in general.
  • In theory: integration of optimization techniques, integer programming, constraint programming, metaheuristics and large neighborhood search.
