Samuel FioriniUniversité Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Lectures
Short Bio SAMUEL FIORINI graduated from Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Brussels) in 2001 under the supervision of Jean-Paul Doignon. He has held research positions at CWI, MIT, and GERAD - HEC Montreal. In 2005, he joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Computer Science at ULB. His research focuses on combinatorial optimization, more precisely polyhedral combinatorics and approximation algorithms. He was the principal investigator of ERC grant FOREFRONT (2014-2019), focusing on extended formulations. His work was awarded the 2023 Gödel prize of the EATCS and ACM. He enjoys climbing and windsurfing. Rouba IbrahimUniversity College London, UK. Lectures
Short Bio Rouba is a Professor at the School of Management of University College London. She holds a PhD degree in Operations Research from Columbia University. Her research and teaching interests focus on service operations using both queueing theoretic and data-analytic techniques. She serves on the editorial boards, as an associate editor, of Management Science, Operations Research, MSOM, Queueing Systems, and IISE Transactions. She currently serves as the Service Management Special Interest Group Chair for the MSOM Society. Nicole ImmorlicaMicrosoft Research, USA. Lectures
Short Bio Nicole Immorlica is a senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research New England (MSR NE) where she leads the economics and computation group. She received her PhD in 2005 from MIT. She joined MSR NE in 2012 after completing postdocs at Microsoft Research and Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), and a professorship in computer science at Northwestern University. Nicole’s research interest is in the design and operation of sociotechnical systems. Using tools and modeling concepts from both theoretical computer science and economics, Nicole hopes to explain, predict, and shape behavioral patterns in various online and offline systems, markets, and games. She is known for her work on social networks, matching markets, and mechanism design. Many of these topics are summarized in the recent Cambridge University Press book, "Online and Matching-Based Market Design," which she co-edited. She is the recipient of a number of fellowships and awards including the SIGecom Test of Time award, the Sloan Fellowship, the Microsoft Faculty Fellowship and the NSF CAREER Award. She has been on several boards including SIGecom, SIGACT, and the Game Theory Society; and is an associate editor of Operations Research.
Wolfram WiesemannImperial College London, UK. Lectures Wolfram Wiesemann is Professor of Analytics & Operations as well as the head of the Analytics, Marketing & Operations department at Imperial College Business School. His research interests evolve around decision-making under uncertainty, with applications to supply chain management, healthcare and energy. Wolfram is an elected member of the boards of the Mathematical Optimization Society and the Stochastic Programming Society, and he serves as an area editor for Operations Research Letters as well as an associate editor for Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Mathematical Programming, Operations Research and SIAM Journal on Optimization.
