  1. One of the favorite moments in my career was in grad school, when I focused on research after passing the comprehensive exams.

    One of the best things about retirement is that I’m reliving that moment: I’ve got a research project on MIP IIS, and I continue to write code and prove theorems about it. Like a theorem that I proved yesterday while on vacation.

    Doing projects I want to do, completely on my schedule. No boss. Life is good.

  2. My colleague and friend Craig Tovey is featured on the latest episode of the Radiolab podcast, “Time is Honey”. If you’re interested in bees or math or operations research, you will enjoy this. radiolab.org/podcast/time-is-h #bees #OperationsResearch #GeorgiaTech #math

  3. Hi everyone,

    I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

    My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

    I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

    In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

    Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

    Hope to keep interacting with you all!

  4. Looking for a new opportunity!

    I'm a data science generalist with 4+ years experience who brings breadth across analytics, operations research, and ML. Love solving messy and ambiguous business problems in this space with Python/R.

    If you know of roles where breadth + problem-solving curiosity are valued, I’d be grateful for a boost, a referral or a nudge.

  5. Most publications of the Vehicle Routing Problem only cover the tip of the iceberg.

    Benchmarks and academic papers typically only handle vehicle capacity (CVRP) and time windows (VRPTW)

    But production deployments also need to deal with many other requirements.

  6. How to minimize driver costs for the Vehicle Routing Problem.

    In this video, I cover dealing with a mixed fleet of employees and contractors. As well as overtime costs.

  7. ETHICAL ANALYSIS: Nonviolent resistance to brutal dictators is morally superior to violent resistance. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS: Nonviolent resistance to brutal dictators is more effective than armed resistance. #ethics #operationsresearch #evidencebased #bestpractices

  8. end-to-end encryption is great and all but be wary. It is not immune to traffic analysis. The ideal for encryption is to look random and that should go for circles of people as well. The Allies used the technique of false radio messages as well in WW2. Read up on Operational Research (As the British boffins called it)

  9. Is there such a thing as communist operations research or is this a contradiction in terms? I'd imagine people using the simplex method, for instance, to figure out how to distribute their community's food, housing, etc. the most efficiently. A cursory search just yields discussions of large scale central management in the PRC.

  10. Are there personal / small community org applications of #operationsResearch? :moomin_hmm:
    Something that keeps popping into my mind is: #Cybersyn but #OCAP .
    I guess #valueflows is kind of like this? But that's just a vocabulary.
    (No, cryptocurrencies are not what I'm looking for.)

  11. The 7 challenges to automate Field Service Routing with PlanningAI.

    It's not just a Vehicle Routing Problem!

  12. If your software generates unfair schedules, employees resign.

    But what is a fair schedule?
    And how do you measure fairness correctly?

    Here's the secret formula for fairness in automated planning, explained in detail:

  13. Just imagine we would use today’s technological means to implement Cybersyn?!
    Cybersyn was an advanced simulation program of the former Chilean socialist government under the presidency of Salvador Allende aiming at balancing supply and demand of their economy. open.substack.com/pub/tertulia #Chile #Cybersyn #OperationsResearch

  14. SO WE WILL HAVE WORKSHOPS AND THE DOCTORAL PROGRAM ON THE FIRST DAY AND AFTER THAT IT IS JUST ONE DAY AFTER ANOTHER FULL OF INVITED TALKS AND TUTORIALS AND DEI AND AWARD CEREMONIES AND DINNERS BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE FULL PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE ...
