Research
Our innovations are built on a foundation of top-tier research spanning Operations Research and Machine Learning. By uniting advanced optimization methods with state-of-the-art predictive modeling, our work tackles some of the most complex challenges in industry today. This rigorous scientific approach not only drives our publications in leading journals and conferences but also ensures that our solutions are both theoretically robust and practically transformative. It is this deep connection to cutting-edge research that allows us to continuously push the boundaries of what’s possible in decision-making.
Selected Awards

This award is presented every three years by the French Operations Research and Decision Support Society (ROADEF) to a researcher under the age of 35. The prize aims to encourage original contributions in the field of operations research and decision support. Special consideration is given to work that combines the development of theoretical methods with practical applications.
