Angelo Sifaleras

Angelo Sifaleras is a Full Professor at the Department of Applied Informatics, School of Information Sciences, University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece). He also serves as an Adjunct Professor of Quantitative Methods at the Hellenic Open University. His academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Applied Informatics (University of Macedonia, 2007) and a B.Sc. in Mathematics (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 1999).

Research Focus: Professor Sifaleras specializes in Mathematical Programming, Network Optimization, and Heuristic Methods. His work integrates computational optimization with real-world logistics, supply chains, and sustainable systems. Key research themes include metaheuristic algorithms for vehicle routing, pollution-aware logistics, and parallel computing solutions for network analysis.

Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles emphasize hybrid metaheuristics (e.g., combining reinforcement learning with Variable Neighborhood Search), sustainable supply chain modeling, and high-performance computing applications. Dominant domains include operations research, environmental optimization, and educational algorithm visualization.

Teaching & Service: He instructs courses in Combinatorial Optimization, Linear Algebra, and Heuristic Methods, employing tools like CPLEX, Gurobi, and SageMath. As an editor for Operations Research Forum and the Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, he supports academic discourse in optimization. A Senior ACM member, he contributes to conferences like ICVNS and ITS.
