Among his most recent projects is a collaboration with the Ottawa Hospital during the pandemic to ensure the adequate allocation of personal protective equipment, to maintain supplies and surgical procedure scheduling. Other projects include addressing resource allocation in disaster relief operations, managing ICU admissions and scheduling home dialysis visit.
Sauré has secured research funding from various agencies, including NSERC and the NRC. Since 2016, he has contributed to many peer-reviewed publications in top ranking journals like Transportation Research Part E, the European Journal of Operational Research and Decision Support Systems.
His research expertise is also benefiting student trainees at all levels, including postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students and undergraduate students in the uOttawa UROP program. Among them is Vusal Babashov, the first student to graduate from the Telfer PhD program in 2021.
