Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPietro Belotti is an assistant professor at Politecnico di Milano with 19 years of experience developing and researching optimization algorithms for challenging problems in discrete nonlinear and multi-objective optimization. He leads development of Couenne, a prominent open-source solver for mixed-integer nonlinear optimization (MINLO), blending academic rigor with production-quality software engineering. His background spans academia and industry, including roles at FICO, Carnegie Mellon, and U.S. universities, which gives him a rare perspective on practical solver needs and theoretical advances. Trained with a PhD from Politecnico di Milano, he repeatedly bridges cutting-edge research and usable tools that advance both optimization theory and real-world decision support.
