Alberto Santini

About

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at ESSEC Business School, at the Department of Information Systems, Decision Sciences and Statistics.

I am an affiliate professor at the Data Science Centre of the Barcelona School of Economics, the Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematics and CY Advanced Studies.

While my fellowship is ongoing, I am on leave from a position as tenure-track assistant professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.

I am a lecturer at the Barcelona School of Management and at RWTH Business School.

I founded AIROYoung and EUROYoung, two chapters bringing together young Operational Researchers in Italy and Europe, respectively.
