معرفی
Jacques Desrosiers is a Full Professor at HEC Montréal in the Department of Management Science since 1989. He has been with the institution since 1978 and is a founding member of the Group for Research in Decision Analysis (GERAD). His research focuses on optimization, transportation systems, and algorithmic methods for solving complex linear and combinatorial problems. He has received prestigious recognitions, including the Grand Prize for Excellence in Research (2015) and Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada (2001).
His work spans contributions to column generation techniques, degenerate linear programming, and vehicle routing problems. Notable achievements include advancing the minimum mean cycle-canceling algorithm, vector space decomposition for large-scale problems, and developing efficient heuristics for logistics challenges. His research bridges theoretical advancements and practical applications, influencing transportation and operations management globally.
Desrosiers has authored over 150 peer-reviewed articles, with recent focus on algorithmic optimization, primal degeneracy handling, and decomposition methods. His contributions to software tools like COIN-OR’s CLP further highlight his commitment to advancing computational methods in operations research.
