BIO:

Ivana Ljubic is Full Professor in Operations Research at ESSEC. She teaches Decision Analysis, Optimal Decision Making, Operations Research (OR) and Business Mathematics in ESSEC MSc, PhD and Advanced Master programs. Prior to joining ESSEC in 2015, she was appointed at the University of Vienna. She also worked as Visiting Scholar/Professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, TU Dortmund, TU Berlin, Dauphine University, etc. From 2017 to 2019 she was Academic Director of the ESSEC EMBA program, and from 2017 to 2021 she was Academic Director of the ESSEC & Mannheim EMBA program. She has published numerous scientific articles in leading outlets and has been ranked since 2018 amongst the Top 5% of most successful business professors in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria according to various publication rankings. 

Ivana Ljubic has carried out consulting studies and industrial contracts for leading telecommunication providers in France and Austria. After completing her PhD in computer science, she also worked for 2 years as Financial Analyst for a Siemens spin-off (fin4cast), focusing on portfolio optimization.

Research interests of Ivana Ljubic include combinatorial optimization, optimization under uncertainty, bilevel optimization. She uses tools and methods of mixed integer (non-) linear programming, meta-heuristics and their successful combinations for solving optimization problems with applications in network design, telecommunications, transportation, logistics, routing and bioinformatics. She has published more than 70 articles in leading OR journals, including Operations Research, Management Science, Mathematical Programming, INFORMS JOC, European Journal of Operational Research.

She is member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the journals European Journal of Operational Research, Computers & Operations Research, and she is Associate Editor for the journals Operations Research (since 2023), Transportation Science (since 2021), Networks (since 2020), Journal of Global Optimization (2019-2021) and Omega (2016-2020). She also served as guest-editor of journals: Discrete Applied Mathematics, European Journal of Operational Research and Annals of Operations Research.

She is co-leading the axis "Combinatorial Optimization and Integer Programming" of GDR RO and its working group "Polyhedra and Combinatorial Optimization" (POC). She is past chair of the INFORMS Telecommunication and Network Analytics Section. From 2010-2016 she was member of council of the INFORMS Telecommunication Section and from 2006 to 2008 she was member of the executive board of the Austrian OR Society (OEGOR).

She has received numerous research grants, including those from the CY Initiative of Excellence, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (PHC program), Austrian Academy of Sciences (OEAW), Austrian Research Fund (FWF) and European Commission (ERA-NET).
