Prof. Andreas Ernst completed his PhD in network optimisation at the University of Western Australia. He spent two decades working on applied operations research at CSIRO, before becoming a Professor of Operations Research in the School of Mathematics at Monash University and the director of MAXIMA, the Monash Academy for Cross- and Interdisciplinary Mathematical Applications. His research interests include integer programming, scheduling, meta-heuristics, and hub location, together with applications of these in logistics, mining, and supply chains. He has published over 100 papers in Operations Research and related areas.



Dr. Simon Dunstall is a Principal Research Scientist and a Deputy Research Director at CSIRO Data61, and the current national president of ASOR. Dr. Dunstall is a researcher in risk analytics and optimisation: his most recent work includes the development of infrastructure network planning systems for transport and electricity systems, the application of real options methods to decisions in ecology and energy management, and the development and application of methods for quantifying and managing bushfire/wildfire risks.



Dr. Rodolfo García-Flores is a Research Scientist in CSIRO Data61 and has over 15 years of experience in Operations Research, especially in mathematical programming, data mining, simulation, and multi-agent systems. Since joining CSIRO in 2006, he has participated in various commercial projects, e.g., software development for minimisation of waste in dairy production, the design of beef supply chains, and maximisation of productivity for a multinational tyre manufacturer. Before joining CSIRO, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Leeds in 2003, joined the company Vickers Laboratories, England, as Data Analyst and was an Associate Professor at Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Mexico.
