Odysseas Kanavetas

Odysseas Kanavetas is an Assistant Professor in the Mathematical Institute at Leiden University's Faculty of Science, specializing in Probability Theory and discrete optimization.

His research interests span Probability Theory, Discrete Optimization, Mathematical Statistics, Algorithm Design, and Decision Sciences. His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications in social sciences and operations research.

Dr. Kanavetas has published significant research on Ameso optimization, which provides a relaxation framework for discrete midpoint convexity with applications to problems like the knapsack problem. He has also conducted research on recidivism factors in Boston using statistical methods including multinomial logistic regression and chi-square analysis.

His publications demonstrate expertise in both theoretical mathematical frameworks and their application to real-world decision problems.

Dr. Kanavetas maintains an active research profile with publications in reputable journals including Discrete Applied Mathematics and the International Journal of Applied Decision Sciences.
