Monique Laurent (born 1960)[1] is a French computer scientist and mathematician who is an expert in mathematical optimization. She is a researcher at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica in Amsterdam where she is also a member of the Management Team.[2] Laurent also holds a part-time position as a professor of econometrics and operations research at Tilburg University.[3]
Education and career[edit]
Laurent earned a doctorate from Paris Diderot University in 1986, under the supervision of Michel Deza.[4] She worked at CNRS from 1988 to 1997, when she moved to CWI. She took a second position at Tilburg in 2009.[2]
Book[edit]
With Deza, Laurent is the author of the book Geometry of Cuts and Metrics (Algorithms and Combinatorics 15, Springer, 1997).[5]
Awards and honors[edit]
She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014.[6] She was elected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2017, "for contributions to discrete and polynomial optimization and revealing interactions between them".[7] She has been a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2018.[8] In 2024, she was awarded a Gauss Lecture by the German Mathematical Society.[9]
