Dr Alysson Costa
Lecturer
The University of Melbourne
Senior Lecturer in Operations Research at the University of Melbourne. I work with modelling and solving challenging decision-making situations, mainly through mixed-integer programming. I am interested in areas with a strong social impact. My students and I are currently applying mixed-integer programming to environmental water management, disaster relief operations, educational timetabling, assembly line balancing and city logistics.
Research Interests:
Mixed Integer Programming
Operations Research
Optimisation
