Biografie

Biography: In 2007, I received my PhD in mathematics from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne(CH). From 2008 to 2009, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Columbia University (US) in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. In 2009-2010, I was appointed as Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick (UK) in the Center for Discrete Mathematics and its Applications (DIMAP) and the Warwick Business School (WBS). From September 2010 to July 2015, I was an Associate Professor at the Université Paris Dauphine (F) in the Computer Science and Mathematics Department. Currently I am a Professor at the University of Fribourg (CH), where I am heading the Decision Support & Operations Research Group together with Marino Widmer in the Department of Informatics. In 2022, I joined the Smart Living Lab project with some members of my team.

  WG conferences (Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science) aim to connect theory and applications by demonstrating how graph-theoretic concepts can be applied in various areas of computer science. Organised in a different place each year, their goal is to present the strongest recent results and to identify and explore directions for future research. The Program Committee, composed of international experts in the field of theoretical computer science, decides on the accepted papers taking into account the reviews received for each submitted paper. A special issue of Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science will be published containing the accepted papers. The 49th edition of the International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science (WG 2023) will be held at the University of Fribourg from June 28 to 30, 2023. It will be organised by the applicant together with Prof. Daniel Paulusma from Durham University (UK). Both will also chair the Program Committee. There will be three internationally-reknowned invited speakers: Prof. Flavia Bonomo, Dr. Eunjung Kim and Dr. Nicolas Trotignon.

  Efficient and sustainable waste collection

  In Swiss municipalities, a curbside system is often used to collect the non-recoverable solid waste. In principle, the trucks stop at every household for the collection. Due to the many stops of the heavy trucks, this classic strategy causes high fuel consumption, emissions and noise. The objective of this project is to improve the municipal solid waste collection process by designing efficient and sustainable waste collection strategies targeted to the needs of the municipalities. This objective is pursued through the following three components. First, new waste collection concepts are proposed using modern physical waste collection elements, such as electric vehicles and containers with compressors. For example, small, agile vehicles may bring the garbage bags to larger containers in intermediate depots and large vehicles may then regularly discharge these containers. Second, mathematical models and optimization algorithms are developed for deciding how to design a waste collection concept for a given municipality in the best possible way. Typical decisions are about the locations of the waste collection points, the types of vehicles used to collect the waste at all collection points and the routing of each vehicle. Third, an interactive decision support tool is developed. It enables to specify the inputs, such as the street network and the waste quantities, and to display the results of the optimization algorithms for all alternatives. This tool will help the decision-makers to choose the best waste collection concept for their municipality.
