M. Grazia Speranza

Maria Grazia Speranza is an Italian applied mathematician and operations researcher. Her research involves the application of mathematical optimization to problems including portfolio optimization and the combination of inventory management with vehicle routing.

She is a professor of operations research in the faculty of economics and business of the University of Brescia, a former vice chancellor and dean at the University, the former president of the Association of European Operational Research Societies and the INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society, and the president of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies.

Education and career

Speranza earned a master's degree in applied mathematics in 1980 and an advanced degree in applied mathematics in 1983 at the University of Milan. After working as an assistant professor at the University of Milan from 1983 to 1987, and as an associate professor at the University of Udine from 1987 to 1990, she moved to the University of Brescia.

From 2000 to 2002, Speranza was the vice chancellor of the University of Brescia. Afterwards, until 2008, she was dean of the faculty of economics and business.[1]

She was also president of the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) from 2011 to 2012,[2] and president of the INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society (TLS) for 2013.[1] She is president of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) for 2019–2021.[3]

Book

Speranza is the co-author, with Renata Mansini and Włodzimierz Ogryczak, of the book Linear and Mixed Integer Programming for Portfolio Optimization (EURO Advanced Tutorials in Operational Research, Springer, 2015).[4]
