Associate Professor, Department of Logistics and Operations Management, HEC Montreal.
Scientific advisor, IVADO Labs.
I am an associate professor at the department of logistics and operations management at HEC Montréal (Canada). Before joining HEC, I was an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Polytech Tours (France) and the co-director of the Operations Research, Scheduling, and Transportation research group at the University of Tours’ Computer Science Laboratory. Between 2015 and 2019 I was the head of Electric Vehicle Routing Optimization (e-VRO), a 4-year research program funded by the French national research agency (ANR). Since early 2020 I am a scientific advisor to IVADO Labs.
