Tommaso Giovannelli

Tommaso Giovannelli (he/him/his) is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial and Systems Engineering program within the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at Lehigh University. He received his Ph.D. in Operations Research in May 2021 from Sapienza University of Rome, where he obtained his B.S. and M.S. in Engineering Management in 2015 and 2017, respectively. From January 2020 to May 2021, he was a visiting scholar at Lehigh ISE. In July 2019, he won a doctoral award at the Doctoral Consortium ORAHS 2019 (EURO Working Group within IFORS) in Karlsruhe, Germany, for his research in simulation-based optimization applied to emergency department management. He has been actively contributing to the academic community by serving on the local organizing committee for ICCOPT 2022 and chairing the organizing committees for the MOPTA 2023 and 2024 conferences.

Tommaso Giovannelli's research interests span several sub-fields of nonlinear optimization, including stochastic bilevel and multi-objective optimization and simulation-based and derivative-free optimization. His main application areas include machine learning, transportation systems, and healthcare management, all motivated by important problems for social good.
