Personal profile
SUMMARY of research interests (100 words)
My research is focused on optimising real-life problems by using mathematical models. I use one or a few large scale mixed integer linear programming formulations and some other optimisation tools to model and solve problems (close to) optimality. The current problems I am dealing with are from the areas of public and shared-use transport, offshore windfarms, airport slot allocation, waste routing and hazardous material transport.
