Research interests

  • Algebraic Dynamic Programming and generalized problem solving techniques
  • Optimization of Hybrid Electric Vehicles and other problems with excruciatingly long evaluation times
  • Green Vehicle Routing and other eco-related problem in optimization
  • Metamodelling, surrogates and other applications of machine learning and statistics in optimization
  • Weird stuff where others think that it can't possibly be done ...
