Career
Together with former IDSIA senior researcher Marco Dorigo and others he made substantial contributions to the rapidly growing research field of ant colony optimization, a set of multi-agent methods inspired by the pheromone-based communication of biological ants. His combinations of artificial ants and local search algorithms have become a method of choice for the solution of numerous optimization problems involving some sort of graph, such as the well-known traveling salesman problem. He is also Chief Scientific Officer of the IDSIA spin-off AntOptima, whose commercial applications of "Ant Colony Optimization" include vehicle routing for large commercial truck fleets, and the management of container flow through the largest Mediterranean container terminal.
