Michal Weiszer

Dr. Michal Weiszer is a Teaching Fellow at the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London, specializing in optimization, metaheuristics, and operational research with applications in airport operations. His research has significantly contributed to the development of the Active Routing concept for airport ground movement, integrating aircraft engine performance and airframe dynamics with routing and scheduling to achieve greener operations.

Dr. Weiszer's research interests focus on routing and scheduling, multi-objective optimisation, simulation, and intelligent transportation systems. His work bridges theoretical optimization techniques with practical aviation applications, particularly in airport ground movement. He has pioneered approaches that integrate aircraft performance models with routing algorithms to reduce emissions and improve efficiency in airport operations. His research spans both algorithmic development and practical implementation, with strong industry connections.

Analysis of Dr. Weiszer's publication record shows a consistent focus on airport ground movement optimization using evolutionary algorithms and multi-objective approaches. His research has evolved from basic routing algorithms to more sophisticated integrated systems incorporating aircraft dynamics, emissions modeling, and uncertainty handling. Recent work has expanded into multimodal transportation and open-source simulation platforms, demonstrating the broadening impact of his research beyond traditional airport operations.

Dr. Weiszer has received several notable awards and funding:
