Marco Antonio Boschetti was born in Aruba (Netherland Antilles)
on May 9, 1970. He received the MSc degree in Computer Science with
top honours from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1993.
From 1994 to 1999 he was a PhD student in Operational Research at
the Management School of the Imperial College of London under the
supervision of Prof. Eleni Hadjiconstantinou. From 1995 to 1997 he
worked as “Research Student” for the Imperial College research
unit, directed by Prof. Nicos Christofides, in the BRITE-EURAM
project "Integrated System for Automated Leather Cutting". In 1999
he received the PhD degree in Operational Research from the
University of London and the Diploma of the Imperial College
(DIC).
In 1997 he was a co-founder of Nemsys s.r.l. a spin-off company
specialised in optimization software for logistics.
From 1999 to 2001 he participated as “Research Associate” to the
research group of the Centre for Quantitative Finance of the
Imperial College, directed by Prof. Nicos Christofides, to develop
new mathematical methodologies and algorithms for solving risk and
portfolio management problems.
Since 2002 Marco Antonio Boschetti is a full-time researcher at the
Department of Mathematics, University of Bologna.
In 2006 Marco Antonio Boschetti and prof. Vittorio Maniezzo had
coined the term "Matheuristics" and organized the first two events
of the Matheuristics workshop series (Matheuristics
2006 and Matheuristics
2008).
In 2010 he was a co-founder of Keisna s.r.l. a spin-off
specialised in decision support systems.
In 2014 he obtained the National Scientific Qualification as
Associate and Full Professor for Mathematical Methods of Economics,
Finance and Actuarial Sciences (SECS-S/06 - 13/D4).
Since 2016 Marco Antonio Boschetti is an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics, University of Bologna.
In 2017 he obtained the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor for Operational Research (MAT/09 - 01/A6)
His research activity is mainly focused on the development of quantitative methods for management science and finance. In particular, he works on exact and heuristic solution methods based on mathematical programming and combinatorial optimization approaches. The problems considered are both well-known basic models (e.g., set partitioning and covering, bin packing, etc.) and real-world applications (e.g., crew and vehicle scheduling, packing and cutting, etc.). The research activity has always followed an interdisciplinary approach among the areas of mathematics, economics and computer science.
He has published a number of papers in international and
national journals and books, he has given a number of talks at
international and national conferences, he has been referee for a
number of international journals and he has been in the organising
committee of some international and national conferences.
