معرفی
Pierre Baptiste is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal's Faculty of Engineering. He holds a Diplôme d'Ingénieur from INSA Lyon, a Doctorate from University of Lyon 1, and a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HdR) from INSA Lyon. His research spans logistics, optimization, scheduling, and production management with applications across multiple industries. He is affiliated with the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO) and the Decision Analysis Study and Research Group (GERAD).
His research interests focus on Logistics, Optimization and Optimal Control Theories, Scheduling, Production Management, and Supply Chain Management. A significant portion of his recent work centers on Demand-Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP), flow shop scheduling, aircraft end-of-life management, and sustainability assessment of solar energy systems. His interdisciplinary approach combines operations research with practical industrial applications.
Professor Baptiste has supervised 11 doctoral students and 25 master's students, with thesis topics ranging from DDMRP implementation to aircraft disassembly optimization and solar energy sustainability. His most recent publications (2022-2025) show a strong focus on DDMRP buffer management, flow shop scheduling with missing operations, and sustainability assessment of renewable energy systems. His research demonstrates a consistent evolution from theoretical scheduling problems toward practical supply chain applications and sustainability considerations.
As a member of IVADO and GERAD, Professor Baptiste contributes to collaborative research initiatives that bridge academic theory with industrial practice. His work has significant implications for manufacturing efficiency, supply chain resilience, and sustainable resource management in both traditional industries and renewable energy sectors.
