Research Interests and Publications

Die Ros' ist ohn' Warum; sie blühet, weil sie blühet
Sie acht' nicht ihrer selbst, fragt nicht, ob man sie siehet. (Silesius, 1657)

My research is mainly concerned with combinatorial algorithms for scheduling, logistics, and manufacturing systems, including

• design and analysis of decision models for resource allocation, scheduling, logistics, production and transportation systems;
• computational complexity characterisation and optimization algorithms design and implementation for combinatorial problems; and
• design and implementation of simulation models for management and control policies evaluation in complex systems.

You may find an updated list of my publications here.
