معرفی
Demetrio Salvatore LAGANA' is an Assistant Professor in Operations Research at the Department of Mechanical, Energy and Management Engineering (DIMEG), University of Calabria, Italy. He has been teaching courses in Operations Research, Optimization, and Transport Systems since 2003 and has held visiting researcher positions at Georgia Tech, HEC Montréal, and University of Valencia. He supervises multiple PhD and Master’s students, collaborates internationally, and serves on scientific committees and editorial boards.
- Education: Master’s in Engineering (1992, Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria); Graduate School in Transport Terminal Infrastructures (1996, Università Federico II di Napoli); PhD in Operations Research (2006, University of Calabria).
Research interests focus on combinatorial optimization and logistics, particularly arc routing problems, general routing problems, and inventory routing problems under deterministic and stochastic conditions. He develops algorithms for vehicle routing, supply chain optimization, and sustainable logistics, addressing constraints like capacity, time windows, and stock-out penalties.
Recent publications highlight trends in multi-vehicle inventory routing, dynamic programming, stochastic optimization, and green logistics, including applications in bike-sharing systems, autonomous delivery robots, and integrated supply chain models. His work integrates exact methods, heuristics, and hybrid approaches.
Academic responsibilities include membership in PhD committees (Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Calabria) and editorial boards (Advances in Operations Research, Hindawi). He has co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles and led research projects funded by national grants.
