Short Bio

Renata Mansini is a Full Professor in Operations Research, at the Department of Information Engineering (DII) of the University of Brescia, Italy. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Bergamo and has been Ph.D. Exchange Visitor Program P/1/153 at the Olin Business School, Washington University, St. Louis Missouri. Her research focus is on Combinatorial Optimization models and algorithms. Her primary research interests lie in Mixed-Integer Linear Programming models, and in the development of exact algorithms (branch-and-bound, branch-and-cut, branch-and-price), heuristic methods (local search methods, meta-heuristics, matheuristics), and approximation algorithms (computational complexity, worst-case analysis). She has published in different application areas working at distribution logistics problems, vehicle and arc routing problems, procurement problems, financial risk and safety measures, linear programming-based portfolio optimization problems, knapsack problems, scheduling problems, personnel rostering problems. She is the director of an Inter-University Research Center in applied mathematics and the scientific coordinator of the research area ''Optimization Models and Algorithms'' at the University of Brescia. She has founded and coordinates the group and the Laboratory of Operations Research at DII, University of Brescia (http://or-dii.unibs.it/). She is an editor of the International Journal of Portfolio Analysis & Management and has been a member of the editorial board of Journal of Mathematics and ISRN Applied Mathematics. She is a member of the EURO Working Group on Combinatorial Optimization, the EURO Working Group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics, and the EURO Working Group on Commodities and Financial Modelling. She is chair of the events sub-committee of the EURO WISDOM Forum.
