معرفی
Maria Elena Bruni is an Associate Professor in Operations Research at the University of Calabria, actively contributing to research and teaching since 2006. Her academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Operations Research (2005) and an M.S. in Public Economy from Sapienza University of Rome (2002). She has held various teaching roles, including Optimization, Production Process Management, and Business Process Design, primarily within Mechanical and Energetic Engineering programs.
- Research Focus: Stochastic and robust optimization, healthcare logistics, project scheduling, and energy systems.
- Key Labs: Financial Engineering and Risk Management Lab (FERM), Decision Engineering for Healthcare Lab.
Bruni's research centers on combinatorial optimization under uncertainty, with applications in healthcare (operating room scheduling, EMS design), logistics (vehicle routing, post-disaster relief), and energy systems (smart microgrids, prosumer management). Her work often combines mathematical programming with risk-averse strategies for real-world complexity.
Scientific honors include multiple best poster awards at ICORES (2019, 2018, 2015) and scholarships from prestigious institutions. She serves on editorial boards of journals like Sustainability and Mathematical Problems in Engineering, and has participated in significant research projects such as PRIN 2018's MACHINE and PON HEALTHSOAF.
Her supervision spans 3 doctoral theses in Operations Research and 2 in Mathematics/Computer Science. Notable scientific collaborations include co-authoring over 70 journal articles and book chapters, with a focus on stochastic programming and data envelopment analysis applications.
