Youssef Hamadi
SENIOR RESEARCHER
I am heading the Constraint Reasoning Group in Microsoft Research Cambridge (MSRC) and co-heading the Adaptive Combinatorial Search for e-Science project in the MSR/INRIA joint-lab. Additionally, I am co-heading the Optimisation for Sustainable Development chair at École Polytechnique, and work there as an associate researcher in the LIX Laboratory. My current focus is on Autonomous Search, Parallel Search, and Propositional Satisfiability, with applications to Environmental Intelligence, Business Intelligence, and Software Verification.
