Henri Lefebvre

I am a CNRS researcher hosted by the LIRMM in Montpellier (France). I received my PhD in Operations Research from the University of Bologna in 2023 under the supervision of Michele Monaci and Enrico Malaguti. My doctoral work focused on optimization problems under uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on robust optimization. In 2024, I was honored with the EURO Best Dissertation Award from the Association of European Operational Research Societies. I then worked as a postdoc at the University of Trier (Germany) in the working group of Martin Schmidt.

My research focuses on developing algorithms to solve complex decision-making problems involving uncertainty and multiple decision-makers. My goal is to develop generic approaches applicable to broad classes of problems that can be tailored to specific real-world scenarios.

Discover idol: a C++ framework for optimization!

idol is a framework designed to help you solve complex optimization problems with ease using various decomposition methods. It allows you to build and custom complex algorithms for tackling mixed-integer, robust and bilevel problems. 

const auto branch_and_price = branch_and_bound + column_generation;
model.use(branch_and_price);
model.optimize();
