Federico Battista

Hello world! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Southern California.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at ISE Department of Lehigh University, under the supervision of Prof. Ted Ralphs. I hold a Ph.D in Operations Research from University of Rome Sapienza and an M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from University of L’Aquila.

My research focuses on theoretical, methodological, and computational advances for discrete optimization. I analyze the mathematical structure of complex mixed-integer linear problems, particularly in bilevel and combinatorial optimization, and design solution methods that exploit this structure, such as branch-and-cut and decomposition algorithms. I implement these algorithms in open-source software for use in real-world decision problems.
