Holding a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Polytechnique Montreal, Nadia Lahrichi is a professor in the department of mathematics and industrial engineering since 2011. Her area of interest are mainly focused towards applying modelling and operational research tools in healthcare. Patient flow (scheduling, sequencing, …) and resource optimization (space requirements, nurse scheduling, …) problems are especially targeted.
