Paolo Toth (born 29 December 1941 in Zara, Italy)[1] is an Italian scientist and engineer, and an Emeritus Professor of Operations Research at the University of Bologna.He is known for his research in operations research and mathematical programming.He made significant contributions in the areas of vehicle routing, knapsack and other cutting and packing problems, train scheduling, set covering, vertex coloring and, in general, combinatorial optimization.[2] As of 2023, he published over 170 peer-reviewed articles and was cited more than 10,000 times.

He was President of the Italian Operations Research Society (AIRO) from 1988 to 1995,[3] of the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) from 1995 to 1996,[4] and of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) from 2001 to 2003.[5]

Among his PhD students are Andrew H. and Ann R. Tisch Professor Andrea Lodi[6] (Cornell Tech), and Professor Daniele Vigo[7] (University of Bologna).[8]

Education and early career

Toth graduated from the University of Bologna with a degree in Electronic Engineering in 1965.He was an assistant and associate professor of computer science at the University of Bologna from 1968 to 1980.From 1980 to 1983 he was a full professor of Automatic Control at the University of Florence, before returning to the University of Bologna as a full professor of combinatorial optimization.
