Matteo Fischetti

Matteo Fischetti (http://www.dei.unipd.it/~fisch) was born in 1958. In 1982, he received his degree in Electrical Engineering (cum laude) at the University of Bologna. In 1987, he got his PhD degree in System Engineering at the University of Bologna. Since 1997, he is full professor of Operations Research at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione of the University of Padova.

His research interests include Integer Programming, Combinatorial Optimization, Graph Theory, Design and Analysis of Combinatorial Algorithms, Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling Problems, and Polyhedral Combinatorics.

He is member of the Editorial Board of the international journals “Mathematical Programming Computation”, “Journal of Combinatorial Optimization”,  and “4OR.”.

He was the Program Committee chair of the international meetings “IPCO 2007” and  “ATMOS 2008” and plenary speaker at the Mathematical Programming Symposium (Lausanne, 1997, and Chicago, 2009), at the EuroGP2005 & EvoCOP2005 meeting (Lausanne, March 2005) and at the 1st Nordic Optimization Symposium (Copenhagen, April 2006).

Matteo Fischetti won the following scientific prizes:
 
• First Prize "Best Young Researcher", awarded by A.I.R.O. (the Italian Operations Research Society), 1987;

• First International Prize "Best Ph.D. Dissertation on Transportation", awarded by the Operations Research Society of America (the first prize awarded by O.R.S.A. for a Ph.D. thesis developed outside U.S.A.), 1987;

• First Prize "FASTER", awarded by FS-Ferrovie dello Stato for the best computer code for solving very large set-covering  problems arising in railway scheduling (jointly with P. Toth and A. Caprara), 1994;

• First Prize "FARO", awarded by FS-Ferrovie dello Stato for the best computer code for solving a crew scheduling problem arising in railway applications (jointly with P. Toth, D. Vigo  and A. Caprara), 1995.

• Finalist of  the INFORMS “Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice” with the paper  “Reinventing Crew Scheduling at Netherlands Railways (jointly with Erwin Abbink, Leo Kroon, Gerrit Timmer, and Michiel Vromans), 2004.

• Winner of  the INFORMS “Edelman award 2008” (the Oscar for OR practice)  with the entry  “Netherlands Railways – The New Dutch Timetable: The OR Revolution” (jointly with Leo Kroon, Dennis Huisman, Erwin Abbink, Pieter-Jan Fioole, Gabor Maroti, Lex Schrijver, Adri Steenbeek, Roelof Ybema), 2008.

He published more than 100 scientific papers on the top-level journals of the area, including Mathematics of Operations Research, Mathematical Programming, Operations Research, Management Science, European Journal of Operational Research, Networks, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Discrete Applied Mathematics, Journal of the American Statistical Association, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, etc.
