Biography
Michel Bierlaire holds a PhD in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Namur, Belgium. From 1995 to 1998, he served as a research associate and project manager at the Intelligent Transportation Systems Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, Ma). Following this, he joined the Operations Research group ROSO within the Institute of Mathematics at EPFL as junior faculty, a position he held from 1998 to 2006. In 2006, he was appointed Associate Professor in the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering at EPFL, where he became the director of the Transport and Mobility laboratory. From 2009 to 2022, he has been the director of TraCE, the Transportation Center. From 2009 to 2017, he was director of the Doctoral Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at EPFL. In 2012, he was appointed full professor at EPFL. From September 2017 to August 2021, he has been the head of the Civil Engineering Institute at EPFL.His main expertise is in the design, development and applications of models and algorithms for the design, analysis and management of transportation systems. Namely, he has been active in demand modeling (discrete choice models, estimation of origin-destination matrices), operations research (scheduling, assignment, etc.) and Dynamic Traffic Management Systems.
As of August 2024, he has published 152 papers in international journals, 4 books, 46 book chapters, 225 articles in conference proceedings, 201 technical reports, and has given 210 scientific seminars. His Google Scholar h-index is 76.
