Jean Pauphilet

Assistant Professor of Management Science and Operations

MSc (Ecole Polytechnique) PhD (MIT)

Dr Pauphilet’s research develops data analytics methods for positive-impact applications. His methodological work addresses the challenge of prediction-based decision-making by designing new algorithms for machine learning, large-scale optimization, and optimization under uncertainty. In addition, he has collaborated with several medical institutions, NGOs, and companies, for example, to improve hospital operations or reduce ocean plastic pollution using analytics. His work has been published in the likes of Operations Research, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Mathematical Programming, and Journal of Machine Learning Research. 

He holds a PhD in Operations Research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and an MSc from Ecole Polytechnique (Paris). Dr Pauphilet has also consulted for various companies on their analytics strategies in the energy, IT, and healthcare sectors, alongside having worked as an analyst for the French venture capital fund, Ventech.
