[Research Theme] Transportation Logistics Optimisation. [Description] 
There is a variety of difficult optimisation problems in transport logistics and we conduct research on the modelling and solving of several of these problems. In particular, we conduct research on problems arising in air transport and also road transport scenarios. For example, our expertise in air transportation problems includes airport operations such as aircraft landing and take-off, baggage handling and stand/gate allocation among others. Our expertise on road transportation problems includes truck loading and routing, warehouse operations, packing of good in HGVs and planning of maintenance operations. Our research at the interface of operations research, computer science and artificial intelligence focuses on the development of effective computational techniques to underpin the implementation of decision support systems to assist in the more efficient execution of these transportation operations. We have a strong record of working with industry in the modelling and solution of real-world complex transportation logistics problems.
