Biography
Professor Justin Boutilier is an Assistant Professor at the Telfer School of Management. His research focuses on developing and applying actionable analytics to solve health and humanitarian problems. He is interested in pursuing a diverse set of applications at the interface between predictive and prescriptive analytics. Much of Justin’s research focuses on global and planetary health because these areas have potential for significant practical impact, while motivating novel problem-driven theory at the intersection of optimization and machine learning.
Professor Boutilier’s work has been recognized by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS): once runner-up (2020) and twice finalist (2021, 2022) for the Pierskalla Best Paper Award, honorable mention for the Doing Good with Good OR Paper competition (2021), and as a PhD student, he won the Seth Bonder Scholarship for Applied Operations Research in Health Services (2017).
Justin received a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Statistics from Acadia University, a Ph.D. in Operations Research from the University of Toronto, and he was a postdoctoral associate with the Humanitarian Supply Chain Lab and the Center for Transportation and Logistics at MIT. Prior to joining Telfer, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
