Interests

The focus of my research is to address scheduling problems that pertain to combinatorial optimization. The Gurobi Optimizer is used as a computational solver, whereby schedules can be easily obtained by defining the constraints and objective function. However, due to the characteristics of the solver, the obtained schedule is usually limited to only one. Therefore, in certain cases, the schedulers may wish to compare multiple optimum schedules. Consequently, we suggest a novel approach to enable the retrieval of multiple optimum schedules from the solver.

I am always eager to collaborate with fellow scholars and students who share a similar interest in this subject matter and welcome any inquiries regarding potential research opportunities.
