Leandro C. Coelho is an associate professor in the Faculty of Business Administration at Université Laval, since 2013, and holds the Canada Research Chair in Integrated Logistics, since 2016. He obtained engineering degrees in Industrial Engineering and Electrical Engineering, as well as a master's degree in Industrial Engineering, specializing in Logistics and Transportation, and an MBA. In 2012, he obtained his Ph.D. in Quantitative Methods at HEC Montréal. His research focuses on the optimization of logistics operations, and touches on all supply chain activities: purchasing, facility location decisions, warehousing, short and long-distance transportation, production decisions and last-mile delivery. More recently, he has been interested in the problems of large urban centers, particularly in mobility and urban logistics. His studies focus on transportation in dynamic environments, such as those related to traffic and congestion. His work generates several lines of research and industrial collaborations with manufacturers who need to transport their production, with carriers operating in urban centers, and with public transit companies. Thanks to advanced optimization tools based on modeling, data analysis, and the development of optimization algorithms, his work has generated financial and energy savings and has avoided the emission of several thousand tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. He has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed papers and has been awarded more than $11 million in research grants and contracts.
