Matthew currently lives with his wife, Rose, and their two children, Sean and Aidan. |
Dr Olivia Smith, Roster Right Olivia undertook her PhD at Melbourne University, focusing on combinatorial optimisation. My thesis, titled “Network Problems in Airline Scheduling”, extended optimisation tools for network problems which can be applied beyond the airline sector. Before joining IBM in January 2013, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Newcastle where I worked as a researcher into coal mining problems and as a lecturer. I have worked in a wide range of sectors, including airlines, shipping, mining, and healthcare, using a variety of techniques to model industrial problems and to develop algorithms to solve them. |
