Andre Cire
Biography:
Andre Augusto Cire is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Management at University of Toronto Scarborough, and cross-appointed to the Operations Management area at the Rotman School of Management.
His main research interests include discrete optimization, mathematical programming, constraint programming, and practical applications of scheduling and routing. Andre's recent work focuses on hybrid methods that exploit the interface between operations management and computer science for the purpose of developing computationally efficient methods for hard and large-scale optimization problems.
