Soumen Atta

Soumen Atta is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Information Technology, University of Jyväskylä, Finland, with additional affiliations as Visiting Researcher at ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon and Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science. He holds a Habilitation (Docent) in Computer Science from the University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Kalyani, India, with Erasmus+ research experience at the University of Łódź, Poland.

His research focuses on optimization problems in logistics and healthcare, including facility location, hub location-allocation, transportation systems, and home healthcare routing/scheduling. He applies soft computing, evolutionary computation, and heuristic/metaheuristic algorithms to solve complex operations research challenges.

Recent publications analyze Home Health Care Routing and Scheduling Problem (HHCRSP) and Capacitated Facility Location Problem with Service Distance and Outsourcing (CFLPSDO), emphasizing algorithmic innovation (e.g., customized Artificial Bee Colony algorithms) and real-world applications in healthcare logistics and sustainable service optimization.
