Pascal Van Hentenryck

Pascal Van Hentenryck (born 8 March 1963) is the A. Russell Chandler III Chair and Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. He is credited with pioneering advances in constraint programming and stochastic optimization, bridging theory and practice to solve real-world problems across a range of domains including sports scheduling, protein folding, kidney matching, disaster relief, power systems, recommender systems, and transportation. He has developed several optimization technologies including CHIP,[1] Numerica,[2] the Optimization Programming Language (OPL—now an IBM product),[3] and Comet. He has also published several books, including Online Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization,[4] Hybrid Optimization,[5] and Constraint-Based Local Search.[6]

Van Hentenryck is an AAAI and INFORMS fellow and has received numerous awards and honorary degrees for his contributions to optimization and artificial intelligence.
