Abstract

Ph.D. Victor M. Albornoz has a degree in Mathematics from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He also has postgraduate studies, being M.Sc. in Mathematics and Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Since 1999, he is a full-time professor in the Departamento de Industrias of the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, where he usually teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Operations Research and Management Science. He has been distinguished several times as “Maestro de Excelencia” in recognition by the opinion of his own students.

His research areas are in the field of Operations Research, with special emphasis on optimization under uncertainty and numerical optimization techniques, especially for modeling and solving operation management problems. He is author of more than 30 publications in scientific journals, series and book chapters, and more than 80 contributions in national and international conference proceedings. He has participated and directed research projects with internal and external financial support. He is a member of the Chilean Institute of Operations Research (ICHIO), currently occupying the position of Past President, and he integrates the Board of the Latin American Association of Operations Research (ALIO) as the Representative of ICHIO for the IFORS 2023 triennial conference. He is currently Associate Editor of Pesquisa Operacional (Scielo journal) and regularly participates of ICHIO, ALIO, EURO and INFORMS meetings and conferences.
