Henri Lefebvre

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Trier University (Germany) in the Nonlinear Optimization group. 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.

Since then, my research has focused 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();
