Biography
Born in 1967, Michel Bierlaire holds a PhD in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Namur, Belgium. Between 1995 and 1998, he was a research associate and project manager at the Intelligent Transportation Systems Program of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Ma, USA). Between 1998 and 2006, he was a junior faculty in the Operations Research group ROSO at the Institute of Mathematics of EPFL. In 2006, he was appointed associate professor at the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering of EPFL, where he became the director of the Transport and Mobility laboratory. Since 2009, 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 December 2021, he has published 139 papers in international journals, 4 books, 41 book chapters, 199 articles in conference proceedings, 183 technical reports, and has given 199 scientific seminars. His Google Scholar h-index is 69.
