Henri Lefebvre

Ph.D University of Trier (Universität Trier)

Henri is currently a post-doctoral researcher in Trier University (Germany) in the "Nonlinear Optimization" group. He received a Master degree in "Optimization and learning of systems" from the University of Technology of Compiègne (France) in 2019 as well as an Engineering degree in "Production systems" from the University of studies of Genova (Italy) the same year. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Bologna (DEI) under the supervision of Michele Monaci and Enrico Malaguti where he studied adjustable robust optimization problems with nonlinear recourses.

His main research interests are in optimization under uncertainty and decomposition methods for large-scale applications. In particular, his work focuses on exact methods for two-stage robust problems with mixed-integer convex wait-and-see decisions using decomposition approaches.
