Research Interests
My area of study is Combinatorial Optimisation. Specifically, I'm currently working on hybridising exact and metaheuristics methods (fancy name = matheuristics) for the Bus Driver Scheduling Problem.
DORA
Traditional methods of research assessment are broken. They are biased, unfair, and do not reflect the true value of research.

Pronunciation of my name
Since I've been asked sometimes, I'll write about the pronunciation of my name.
I've pronounced my name with voiced s [tom'mazo] for my entire life. After I moved to Vienna, I discovered that many Italian people (especially from the south of Italy) pronounce my name with voiceless s [tom'maso].
Apparently, this is a broad phenomenon in regional Italian, similar to what happens with Standard German German's /z/ (like in
seit [zait]) vs Standard Austrian German's /s/ (
seit [sait]), although there are exceptions.
By the way, I don't really care about the "correct" pronunciation. In fact, I'm amused and interested in listening to people from other parts of the world pronouncing my name in different ways :)
