Vidi Grant for candidate fellow Neil Olver

Candidate fellow Neil Olver has been awarded a vidi grant for his research entitled ‘Usable algorithms for network optimization.’ Olver is assistant professor at the department of Econometrics and Operations Research at School of Business and Economics, VU Amsterdam.

Short summary of Neil Olver’s research project

Networks of many kinds—such as communication, traffic, and social networks—have been growing in size and importance. The same mathematical problems about efficiently designing and utilizing networks occur in many different contexts. This project will uncover new algorithms for these problems that are faster, more accurate and more revealing.
