Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolIvo Hedtke is an operations research and algorithm engineering leader with 14 years of experience applying pure mathematics, high-performance computing, and pragmatic software engineering to logistics and network optimization. He has led OR teams and product ownership at DB Schenker and now shapes OR strategy at DSV while serving in supervisory roles for a major Horizon Europe project. Ivo combines academic rigor—a PhD in computer science and extensive lecturing—with hands-on implementation, from exact algorithms and heuristics for vehicle routing to cloud infrastructure automation with Ansible and Terraform. He is an active open-source contributor, notably integrating the HiGHS linear programming solver into the popular Conan Center Index and contributing to SCIP++ and other solver ecosystems. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex research into production-ready solvers that reduce costs and enable new operational capabilities. Based in Essen, Germany, he often bridges university research and industry deployment, supervising doctoral work and publishing applied research in transportation optimization.
