Biography

I am a Professor at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization of the University of Waterloo.

I did my PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization at GeorgiaTech under the supervision of Bill Cook.

I was the recipient of the 2008-2009 IBM Herman Goldstine postdoctoral fellowship and an Early Research Award.

My research interests are on cutting planes for general mixed-integer programming, computational mixed-integer programming, operations research and the solution of combinatorial optimization problems, in particular vehicle routing and similar problems.
