Summary
Nihat Toklu is an engineer with 12 years of experience bridging academic research and industrial AI applications, currently based in Lugano and working at NNAISENSE. He holds a PhD in Informatics and has a strong research background from IDSIA and university posts, where he developed matheuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods for complex logistics, energy and network problems. His work spans simulation, robust optimization and mixed-integer programming, with practical focus on uncertainty-aware decision making in supply chains and large-scale systems. At NNAISENSE he applies this research-grade expertise to real-world AI engineering challenges, translating advanced algorithms into production-ready solutions. Colleagues describe him as someone who combines rigorous theoretical grounding with pragmatic engineering, often surfacing non-obvious robustness improvements that reduce operational risk.
