Research Contributions

The long-term objective of my research to investigate design, planning, and control issues in production and distribution systems in the era of Industry 5.0 and Hyperconnected Logistics. I use Mixed Integer Linear Programming as the cornerstone of my methodological approach, while keeping up with trends in big data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
