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)

Operations research is my field of activity and my research is mainly concerned with combinatorial algorithms with applications to scheduling, logistics, manufacturing and transportation systems.

My work included: Design and analysis of decision models for resource allocation, computational complexity characterisation, design of exact and approximate algorithms for multi-agent and nonlinear combinatorial optimization problems; design and implementation of simulation models for control policies evaluation in complex systems. You may find an updated list of my publications here.
