Research Interests
Dimitris is currently a Lecturer in Operations and Supply Management. He previously served as a post-doctoral researcher in Operations Research and Management Science (OR/MS) at the School of Mathematics/School of Management, University of Southampton. He holds a Ph.D. in OR/MS, and an MBA from the Athens University of Economics and Business, while his first degree is in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
Dimitris’ scientific interests are in the areas of Analytics and Optimization for Project Management, Operations and Supply Chain Management and Transportation and Distribution Logistics. His research is focused on the design, development and application of mathematical models, operations research methods and computationally efficient algorithms to enable optimization-based decision support systems in operations planning and scheduling of resources. Dimitris has participated in various EU-funded research projects within the scope of OR/MS, and has been involved in a railway optimization project funded by EPSRC as a research fellow. His work has been presented at international conferences and published in international academic journals.
