Corinne LUCET-VASSEUR is a University Professor at Université de Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), leading Research Unit UR 4290 (OCIA - Optimisation Combinatoire, Images et Applications). Her office (Room 302, Tel: 5900) serves as the hub for her research group focused on combinatorial optimization and artificial intelligence applications. Her research spans: Combinatorial Optimization : Developing metaheuristics for NP-hard problems Healthcare Logistics : Patient flow optimization, facility location, simulation training Logistics Engineering : Parcel distribution, vehicle routing with time windows Algorithm Design : Ant Colony Optimization, Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search, portfolio methods She applies these methodologies to solve complex real-world problems, particularly in healthcare systems where resource constraints and scheduling complexity demand innovative optimization approaches. Her work bridges theoretical advances with practical implementation through industrial partnerships. Current research projects include: SMILE PICK UP (CIFRE industrial partnership) Simusanté (healthcare simulation) LORH (logistics optimization) These projects secure ongoing funding and provide doctoral training opportunities through industry collaboration. Her publication record demonstrates consistent methodological innovation applied to healthcare and logistics challenges across multiple European conferences and journals. Professor Lucet-Vasseur actively mentors junior researchers through co-authorship on conference papers and journal articles. Her supervision style emphasizes practical problem-solving with industry relevance, preparing students for both academic and industrial careers in optimization. The OCIA research unit provides a collaborative environment for tackling complex combinatorial problems with real-world impact. The OCIA laboratory serves as UPJV's center for combinatorial optimization research, specializing in metaheuristic development for healthcare and logistics applications. The lab maintains strong industry connections through CIFRE contracts and applied projects, ensuring research relevance while providing students with exposure to real business challenges. Current focus areas include adaptive algorithm selection using reinforcement learning and fitness landscape analysis for optimization problems.
