Optimization in Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences

Lavinia Amorosi is Assistant Professor in Operations Research at the Department of Statistical Sciences of Sapienza, University of Rome. She received the Ph. in Operations Research from Sapienza University of Rome in 2018. She has been visiting Ph. at Lancaster University Management School, Lancaster UK, in 2016 and at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Seville, Spain, in 2017. Her research area is mainly combinatorial optimization, with particular interest in network optimization and multiobjective programming and data science, with applications to real network problems in telecommunication and transportation areas where she published articles in international journals. She is a founder of the young chapter of the Italian Operations Research Society (AIROYoung), of which she is an outgoing coordinator. She is one of the awarded researchers of the YoungWomen4OR EURO program in 2020.Paolo Dell’Olmo is a Full Professor in Operations Research at the Department of Statistical Sciences of Sapienza University of Rome. Formerly Department Head, Coordinator of the PhD program in Operations Research, Director of the Master Program in Statistics for the Management of Information Systems; Coordinator of Italian Inter-University Center for Operations Research; Member of the Scientific Committee of Fondazione Roma Sapienza); Member of Board of Directors of Fondazione Sapienza. He is currently Director of the Master Program in Data Intelligence and Strategic Decisions. His research interests are mainly in combinatorial optimization, which is also applied to real-life problems. He has been a scientific coordinator of a number of national research projects, and he’s author of several books and approximately 80 papers published in international journals.Isabella Lari obtained a PhD degree in Operations Research from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1994. She is a researcher at the Department of Statistics of the University of Rome La Sapienza. Dr. Lari is teaching Optimization Mathematical Methods and, in the past, has held courses of Elements of Computer Science, Data Structure and Algorithms, Simulation Techniques. Her research activity is mainly focused on combinatorial optimization with particular attention to location and partitioning problems on graphs. She has published in several major journals in the field.
