Borzou Rostami

Assistant Professor, Operations and Decisions Sciences (ODS)

Borzou is an assistant professor of Operations and Decisions Sciences at Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, 51��ɫ. He is also a researcher at the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data Science for Real-Time Decision-Making at Polytechnique Montreal and Interuniversity Research Centre on Enterprise Networks, Logistics and Transportation (CIRRELT). Prior to joining 51��ɫ, Borzou was a postdoctoral researcher at Polytechnique Montreal, École de Technologie Supérieure, Montreal, and TU Dortmund, Germany. Borzou holds a PhD in Information Technology/Operations Research from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy.

His current research interests include:

Supply chain and retails analytics and optimization
Integrated supply chain planning (e.g., location-routing, production-distribution, sales-operations)
Supply chain network design (e.g., facility location, hub network design)
Large-scale Optimization (e.g., Benders decomposition, outer approximation, column generation, Lagrangian relaxation, branch-and-cut, branch-and-price)
Data-driven optimization (e.g., techniques based on stochastic programming, dimensionality reduction techniques, distributionally robust optimization)
Machine learning utilization for real-time decision making in supply chain networks
Transportation and logistics with interactions (e.g., nonlinear vehicle routing, nonlinear shortest path)
