I’ve been fascinated by computers since I was a child. I taught myself to program at an early age and created simple games like a car racing game. This passion led me to pursue a PhD in computer science and a successful academic career. With 20+ years of experience in algorithms, optimization, and operations research, I specialize in combinatorial optimization, discrete mathematics, and game theory. My work involves: → Building fast algorithms to solve vehicle routing problems by tapping into the structure of transportation networks.→ Using linear programming to model complex combinatorial problems, making them tractable using off-the-shelf solvers such as CPLEX or Gurobi.→ Creating efficient clustering algorithms by leveraging the structure in low-dimensional geometric data with applications in machine learning.My career highlights include leading international projects, mentoring future industry leaders, and advancing the field of algorithmic optimization. Now, I’m eager to apply my research to real-world projects, work with cross-functional teams, and bring academic insights to life in industry. I’d love to connect and explore how I can support your goals to turn abstract ideas into models that solve practical problems. You can book a call at https://calendly.com/feldmann-a-e/short
