Dr Antonio Martinez-Sykora PhD

Associate Professor in Business Analytics

Antonio Martinez-Sykora, current director of CORMSIS (Centre of Operations Research, Management Science and Information Systems), is an Associate Professor in Business Analytics. He finished his PhD in June 2013 at the University of Valencia (Spain) and joined the Southampton Business School in September 2013 as a research assistant. In 2007, he received his BSc in Mathematics and BSc in Statistics and in 2009 he received the M.A.S in Operations Research.

His research focuses in a wide range of combinatorial optimisation problems, especially on cutting and packing problems and logistic planning problems such as vehicle routing, scheduling, cutting and packing and revenue management. He is a coordinator of the Euro Working Group on Cutting and Packing (ESICUP) and he has participated in various externally funded projects.
