So far, I have been learning and evolving in Six Countries on Five Continents.

The Land of The Uncle Sam (<1 Year). In 2025, I started my Postdoc at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering of Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech) and the NSF AI Research Institute for Advances in Optimization (AI4OPT), mentored by Professor Pascal Van Hentenryck.

The Land of The Maple Leaf (>5 Years). I obtained my Ph.D. in Operations Research from the Mathematics and Industrial Engineering Department of Polytechnique Montreal (Poly) and the Groupe d’Études et de Recherche en Analyse des Décisions (Gerad), advised by Professors El Hallaoui Issmaïl & Soumis François. I have specialized in large-scale optimization from several perspectives: solver (commercial, open-source, etc.), metaheuristics (local search, simulated annealing, etc.), exact (decompositions, branch-and-price, etc.), and learning (supervised, unsupervised, etc.). My Research was generously supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Nature et Technologie (FRQNT), the Institut de Valorisation des Données (IVADO), and the OCP Group.

The Land of The Battlefields (<1 Year). During 2024, I was a Visiting Scholar at the Faculty of Economics and Business of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), advised by Professor Roel Leus. I worked on a primal variant of Benders decomposition for large-scale stochastic contexts.

The Land of The Hopping Kangaroos (<1 Year). During 2023, I was a Visiting Scholar at the Business School of Griffith University (Griff), advised by Professor Yong Wu. I explored the intersection of Re-optimization (Operations Research) and Resilience (Management Science) for perturbed large-scale contexts such as supply chains.

The Land of The Rising Sun (~2 Years). Prior to Poly, I obtained an MBA from the International University of Japan (IUJ), where I worked with Professor Li Wenkai on designing an electric vehicle migration framework. I was fortunate to obtain a specialization in finance, leveraging my engineering and business backgrounds. My MBA was generously supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

The Kingdom of The Western Place (>20 Years). I also hold a master’s degree in industrial engineering from Ecole Mohammadia d’Ingénieurs (EMI).
