Mojtaba Heydar, Ph.D.

Welcome to Mojtaba Heydar's home page! 

I am a Senior Specialist Modelling and Analysis in IPRO Supply Chain Planning at BHP. I joined BHP in February 2023 after spending three years at Curtin University, Australia. Previously, I was with Department of Mathematics at the University of Tasmania and Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Newcastle. I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2014.

My research projects are related to the application of Operations Research in areas such as healthcare systems, food supply chain optimization, high-speed train timetabling, transportation, logistics, scheduling, and supply chain. I am a member of INFORMS (the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science), The OR Society, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS), and the Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS). 

I have taught courses in industrial engineering, operations research, and supply chain. My primary areas of teaching are related to industrial engineering, operations research, operation management, and supply chain management.

Research Interests: Operations Research, Mixed Integer Programming, Stochastic Modelling, Markov Decision Processes
