معرفی
Antoine Sauré is an Associate Professor at the Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, where he holds the Telfer Research Fellowship in Healthcare Analytics. With a Ph.D. in Management Science from the University of British Columbia (2012) and prior degrees from the University of Chile, he brings over a decade of experience applying advanced analytics to large-scale service operations, particularly in healthcare.
Education
- B.Sc. Eng., University of Chile
- B.Eng., University of Chile
- M.Sc., Operations Management, University of Chile
- Ph.D., Management Science, University of British Columbia (2012)
Research Interests
Dr. Sauré’s scholarship centers on stochastic optimization and approximate dynamic programming to solve complex resource-allocation problems under uncertainty. His work spans:
- Cancer-care operations and chemotherapy scheduling
- Capacity planning and patient flow optimization
- Home-care routing and scheduling with uncertain demand
- Disaster-response logistics for medical supply chains
- Digital platforms for learning health systems
Methodologically, he integrates advanced mathematical modelling with real-world implementation, collaborating closely with the British Columbia Cancer Agency and other healthcare providers to improve timely access to quality care.
