News
- November 12, 2025: Today, I gave a talk on A Primer on Bilevel Optimization under Uncertainty and Solution Approaches for Robust Bilevel Problems at the Seminar of the Operations Management and Operations Research (OMOR) Cluster at ESSEC Business School. Interested? Check out our solution approaches for $\Gamma$-robust mixed-integer linear bilevel problems, which you can find here and here. Stay tuned for more upcoming work on two-stage robust optimization!
