With more than 15 years of in-depth optimization research and consulting experience, Martin Savelsbergh is one of the world's few optimization experts. Savelsbergh and his team work closely with Axioma's clients to provide them with the customized optimization technology and services that fit their needs. Axioma has helped countless organizations - including Goldman Sachs, Yellow Transportation, i2 Technologies and the Federal Communications Commission - make faster decisions, improve efficiencies, and capitalize on business opportunities.
Since earning his Ph.D. from Erasmus University Rotterdam in 1988, Savelsbergh has been at the forefront of the optimization field, developing countless innovative optimization solutions. Today, he is also a professor at the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering of Georgia Institute of Technology. He is a key participant in The Logistics Institute at Georgia Tech.
His research is extensive and has helped many organizations identify and implement plans to achieve optimization goals. Focusing on computational integer programming and computational logistics, he has worked on several software development projects, including CAR (Computer Aided Routing), which is an interactive planning system for physical distribution management, and MINTO (Mixed INTeger Optimizer), which is an environment for the solution of mixed integer programming models.
Savelsbergh's work is highly regarded and appears frequently in scientific and trade journals, including Mathematical Programming, Mathematics of Operations Research, Operations Research, Operations Research Letters, INFORMS Journal on Computing, Transportation Science, Decision Support Systems, and the Journal of Business Management and Logistics. Additionally, he is an Area Editor for Operations Research Letters and an Associate Editor for Operations Research, Mathematics of Operations Research, and Naval Research Logistics. He sits on the editorial board of Constraints.
Recognized worldwide for his optimization expertise, Savelsbergh has delivered powerful and informative lectures in more than 10 countries. Past speaking engagements include the International Mathematical Programming Symposium, INFORMS, IPCO, and ECCO.
