I'm Dr Saad Attieh

Founder, AI Researcher and Software Developer

I work in the field of Constraint Programming, Optimisation and Operations Research. Having recently completed a PhD in Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence, at the University of St Andrews, I am now focused on bringing the benefits of Constraint Optimisation and AI into industry, (FIELDER, ASOMAS).

To date, my research has focused on improving the performance and scalability of general purpose local search constraint solvers, so that they may be used to solve larger real world problems.

I am the developer and maintainer of the constraint local search solver ATHANOR
