He has collaborated in several research projects with relevance in industry and public sectors, such as Collaboration StatoilHydro, AUTOLOG, ENERGIMARKED 2.0, CITYFREIGHT, and ZeroLog. He is currently project manager of the collaborative and knowledge-building project OPTINORFARM - Economic and Environmental Optimization of Norwegian Farms.
In recognition to the impact of his work, he became Franz Edelman Laureate in 2016 (INFORMS, USA) and finalist of the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in the Practice of Advanced Analytics and Operations Research in 2020 (INFORMS, USA). He was also finalist of the EURO Excellence in Practice Award at the conference of the Association of European Operational Research Societies in 2009 (Germany) and 2018 (Spain).
He currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Shipping and Trade, the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports, and the official journal of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies, International Transactions in Operational Research. He has also served as Chair of the IFORS Prize for OR in Development 2020 and 2023.
He enjoys teaching about decision making and likes to encourage his students to understand applications in real-world problems. He firmly believes the world can change for better through the use of operations research.
