Short Profile

---

I am a slightly overweight, mature, male, honorary member of the Operations Research Group of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at The University of Melbourne.

My research areas include dynamic programming, decision-making under severe uncertainty, composite concave programming, branch and bound, water resources planning, and interactive computing and modeling.

I am heavily involved in OR/MS education, including the development of educationally rich on line OR/MS modules (see the tutOR and the IFORS tutORial projects.)

I am also actively involved with the promotion of OR/MS as an academic discipline and a profession: nationally through the Australian Society for Operations Research (ASOR), and internationally through the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS).

In case you plan to invite us for dinner/lunch, please note that my wife and I are vegetarians, but do not make a big fuss about it.

Do not panic if your city is not included in this list. Have a look at my Sabbatical plans for details regarding how this can be fixed!

Some comments regarding my name are appropriate.

My first name - Moshe - is Moses in Hebrew (not French!). My last name should be pronounced something like Schnaidovitz. This is neither the place nor the time to explain the origin of this error. For all practical purposes you can call me Moshe.
