معرفی
Bernard Gendron is a Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Operational Research (DIRO) at the University of Montreal and a researcher at the Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics, and Transportation (CIRRELT). His research focuses on combinatorial optimization, including polyhedral theory, decomposition methods, metaheuristics, constraint programming, and applications in logistics, transportation, telecommunications, and healthcare. He has held leadership roles, such as Director of CIRRELT (2008–2015) and President of Canadian Operational Research Society (CORS) and INFORMS Transportation Science & Logistics section. He has received awards including CORS Practice (2004), Service (2006), and Merit (2010) Awards.
- Education: Not explicitly stated in texts, but extensive academic and professional experience implies doctoral-level qualifications.
Research Interests: Combinatorial optimization, logistics networks, transportation systems, integer programming, and algorithm design. His work bridges theoretical developments and practical applications, particularly in network design and large-scale optimization problems.
Publications: Over 50 peer-reviewed articles, with recent contributions on facility location, network design, and heuristic algorithms. Key areas include subgradient methods, Lagrangian relaxation, and metaheuristic approaches.
Editorial & Leadership: Editor-in-Chief of INFOR, member of editorial boards for journals like EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics. Active in program committees (e.g., Odysseus 2018). Taught courses on optimization, network flows, and mathematical programming.
Labs/Teams: Associated with CIRRELT and DIRO research groups focused on transportation and logistics optimization.
