Research interests

My works fall within Operations Research and Data Analysis. The focus is on:

• scheduling problems (complexity issues, approximation algorithms, heuristics);
• transportation problems (design, heuristics, meta-heuristics);
• micro-electronic applications (industrial engineering methods, scheduling data analysis);
• logical analysis of data (and other data analysis methods) applied to medical diagnosis.

Details can be found by looking at my publications and software, or at the projects I am (or was) involved in.
