Everything can be optimized
Hi - my name is Anthony Karahalios. I am an Operations Research scientist. I enjoy researching optimization methodologies, teaching optimization, and writing software that uses optimization to solve real-world problems.
My journey:

- Built a treasury optimization system and improved the automated trading system.
- Ph.D in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization from Carnegie Mellon University (2020 - expected May 2025)
- Developed a novel discrete optimization method that performs well on large-scale vehicle routing problems. I am advised by Willem-Jan van Hoeve.
Fun things:
- I host a podcast called Optimizing You.
- I won a charity competition at Marshall Wace to support the All Stars Project Development School for Youth.
- I work as a freelancer on Upwork.com.
