Stefan Van Zwam is a Senior Application Developer and algorithms specialist with a PhD in mathematics and over a decade of experience translating combinatorics and advanced optimization theory into production AI and decision-science systems. He has led ML teams at Dassault Systèmes and designed fleet-wide planning solutions at aifleet that materially improved single-truck performance, and now applies quantum-classical hybrid solvers at D-Wave to tackle hard optimization problems. Comfortable as both a researcher and hands-on engineer, he has moved between academia and industry—serving as a tenure-track mathematician and later delivering commercial supply-chain and operations-planning products. Stefan’s work consistently bridges rigorous theory and pragmatic deployment, showing a knack for turning complex mathematical ideas into scalable, operational software. Based in Colorado Springs, he blends deep algorithmic know-how with product-minded execution to humanize logistics and accelerate decision-making.
