Mourtos Ioannis

Yiannis Mourtos is a Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), since 2008. He holds a BSc in Computer and Information Engineering (University of Patras, 1998), an MSc, and a PhD in Operations Research from the London School of Economics (LSE, 2003). His research spans theoretical and applied aspects of Mathematical Programming, Combinatorial Optimization, and Discrete Mathematics, with applied work in transportation, energy efficiency, and information systems. He has published extensively in top-tier journals (e.g., Mathematical Programming, INFORMS J. Computing), securing over 50 Web of Science-indexed publications, including many in Q1/Q2 SCIMAGO journals. His work has garnered significant citations and he serves as a regular reviewer for leading journals and conference committees (e.g., CPAIOR, IFIP DSS).

As a faculty member, he teaches courses such as Mathematical Programming and Stochastic Modeling, achieving high student ratings (~4.5/5) and receiving a teaching award twice. He coordinates the 'Practical Training and Thesis' program at AUEB and has advised doctoral theses as co-supervisor. His applied research is funded by EU projects like FACTLOG and DISRUPT, managing collaborations with over 30 partners. He directs the ELTRUN Research Laboratory since 2021 and oversees AUEB's Employment and Career Structure (DASTA) as Scientific Manager since 2020.

His Erdős number is 3, reflecting interdisciplinary collaborations with institutions like Columbia, Lancaster University, and domestic partners (NKUA, NTUA). The ELTRUN-ADOPT research group under his leadership includes ~10 researchers, 5 of whom are PhD candidates. His contributions bridge theoretical optimization methods (Integer Programming, Constraint Programming) with real-world applications in logistics, energy systems, and industrial management.
