Ali Skaf

Ali Skaf is an Associate Professor at CESI LINEACT, affiliated with the Engineering and Numerical Tools Research team. His research focuses on scheduling problems, supply chain resilience, multi-objective optimization, and port logistics. He holds a PhD in Automatics from Belfort Montbéliard University of Technology (2020) and a Master's in Computer Science from the Lebanese-French University (2012).

His educational activities span Computer Science, Operational Research, and Mathematics across engineering cycles and preparatory courses. Skaf's work emphasizes port terminal operations, including quay crane scheduling, yard truck coordination, and mixed-integer programming models for container handling. His recent publications (2018–2022) highlight contributions to NP-completeness analysis of scheduling problems and optimization algorithms for maritime logistics.

His research integrates exact methods, heuristics, and computational complexity analysis to enhance supply chain efficiency. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, though his active publication record reflects ongoing scholarly engagement. His advising and grants details are not documented here, but his team's focus on numerical tools and engineering applications suggests collaborative projects in industrial automation and logistics systems.
