Research
My research area is optimization theory and applications, currently mainly dealing with systems arising in radiation therapy treatment planning and supply chain management. In radiation therapy treatment planning I am developing new models and algorithms for efficiently determining effective (i) treatment plans for cancer patients who are treated using radiation therapy, and (ii) treatment schedules for radiation therapy clinics. In supply chain optimization, I am mostly interested in integrated optimization of production, inventory, and transportation processes, in particular in the presence of demand flexibility, limited resources, perishability, and uncertainty.
