Bio: Pascal Van Hentenryck is the A. Russell Chandler II Chair and Professor in the H. Milton Stewart School ofIndustrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to this appointment, VanHentenryck was a Professor of Computer Science at Brown University for 20 years, the leader of the OptimizationResearch Group at National ICT Australia (about 70 people), and the Seth Bonder Collegiate Professor at theUniversity of Michigan. Van Hentenryck is a Fellw of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Itelligence(AAAI) and a fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS). He holds twohonorary doctoral degrees and is the recipient of an NSF Young Investigator Award, the 2006 ACP Award forResearch Excellence in Constraint Programming, the 2002 ICS INFORMS Award for Research Excellence at theIntersection of Computer Science and Operations Research, and the Philip J. Bray Award for teaching excellence inthe physical sciences at Brown University, Van Hentenryck is the author of five books, all published by the MITPress. He is the designer of several optimization systems that are widely used commercially, including theconstraint programming system CHIP (the foundation of constraint programming languages) and the modelinglanguage OPL (now an IBM product), His current research focuses on artificial itelligence in engineering, withapplications in energy systems, mobility and transportation, and privacy.
