Prof. Tal Raviv
Researcher in operations research, transportation & logistics
My main research interests are shared mobility systems, small-parcel delivery logistics, public transit planning, warehousing, and traffic management. I have published about 45 papers in the operations research literature and have advised several start-up companies.
I am a Full Professor in the School of Industrial & Intelligent Systems Engineering at the Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering, Tel Aviv University, and co-head the transportation and logistics group at TAU (with Prof. Michal Tzur).
I hold a B.A. from the Eitan Berglas School of Economics, Tel Aviv University (1993), an M.B.A. from the Recanati School of Business, Tel Aviv University (1997), and a Ph.D. in Operations Research from the William Davidson Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa (2003). I spent two years (2004–2006) as a postdoctoral fellow at the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
