Biography

Friedrich Eisenbrand is a full professor of mathematics at EPFL, specializing in discrete optimization and algorithms complexity. His research interests primarily focus on algorithms complexity, integer programming, and combinatorial geometry. Eisenbrand's work emphasizes efficient algorithms and optimization techniques applicable in industrial settings. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of cutting planes and integer programming in fixed dimensions, which are critical for solving large-scale optimization problems. Since joining EPFL in March 2008, he has been involved in several high-impact research projects and has supported his work with grants from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Noteworthy recognitions include the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Award and the Otto Hahn Medal for his contributions to mathematical programming and operations research. Eisenbrand is also committed to education, teaching advanced courses in linear algebra and discrete optimization, and supervising students in their doctoral studies.
