Biography will be updated soon.

For more than four decades, I mainly deal with the exact and approximate solution of different types of scheduling problems beginning around 1980 with the development of genetic algorithms for the flow shop scheduling problem. I also deal with complexity issues, scheduling problems under uncertainty, train scheduling problems and various graph-theoretic problems. I was involved into several research projects supported by German Research Society (DFG), European Community (INTAS) and Belarusian Republican Foundation of Fundamantal Research. Since 2019, I am Editor-in-Chief of the journal Algorithms. I am an associate editor of International Journal of Production Research, of Journal of Scheduling and of Operations Research and Decisions. I am also a member of the Editorial/Advisory Board of 14 further journals. I was a guest editor of special issues in seven international journals and a member of the program committee of more than 100 international conferences. I am also an author or two Mathematics textbooks, an author/editor of eight further books as well as about 300 published journal papers.
