معرفی
Victor Podinovski is a Professor of Operational Research at Loughborough Business School, Loughborough University, and Co-Director of the Centre for Productivity and Performance. He holds a PhD in applied mathematics from Moscow State University (1986) and has held academic positions at institutions including Moscow State University (1983–1995) and Warwick Business School (1996–2015), where he became a Professor in 2011.
His research focuses on nonparametric methods for efficiency analysis, particularly data envelopment analysis (DEA), multiple criteria decision analysis, and optimization. He led a major EU-funded project (2011–2014) developing quantitative tools for EU agricultural policy simulation. His work bridges theoretical advancements in DEA with practical applications in education, agriculture, and public policy.
Key research interests include production technologies with ratio inputs/outputs, returns to scale characterization, and efficiency evaluation under constrained conditions. His contributions to DEA methodology have influenced global research, including advancements in model specification and computational approaches. He has received the Operations Research 2012 Meritorious Service Award for his contributions to the field.
