Research Activities

Gaia Nicosia's main research interests concern combinatorial optimization models for planning and scheduling problems, with applications in manufacturing and logistics. In particular, her attention focuses on the (i) characterization of problems in terms of computational complexity, (ii) development of exact, heuristic, randomized, approximate and on-line combinatorial algorithms, and (iii) validation of the proposed approaches through computational experiments. The main application areas of her research activities are: Layout design in production systems; Logistics and Transportation; Scheduling; Multi-agent systems; Telecommunication systems.
