Monique Laurent is a French computer scientist and mathematician who is an expert in mathematical optimization. She is a professor at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam where she leads the Networks and Optimization group.[1][2] Laurent also holds a part-time position as a professor of econometrics and operations research at Tilburg University.[3]
Laurent earned a doctorate from Paris Diderot University in 1986, under the supervision of Michel Deza.[4] She worked at CNRS from 1988 to 1997, when she moved to CWI. She took a second position at Tilburg in 2009.[1]
With Deza, Laurent is the author of the book Geometry of cuts and metrics (Springer, 1997).[5]
Awards and honors
She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014.[6] She was elected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2017, "for contributions to discrete and polynomial optimization and revealing interactions between them".[7]
