Rate My Professor Mark Wallace

Wallace's research interests encompass discrete optimisation, including techniques and algorithms for optimisation, their integration, and applications to complex resource planning, scheduling problems, and especially transport optimisation. He co-founded the hybrid algorithms research area and leads in constraint programming (CP) and hybrid techniques (CPAIOR). Major contributions include leading the team that developed the ECLiPSe constraint programming platform, acquired by Cisco Systems in 2004; creating the G12 hybrid optimisation software platform; and founding Opturion to commercialize it. He established the Monash-CTI Centre and delivered optimisation solutions for organizations such as British Airways, RAC, Country Fire Authority, Qantas, Alertness CRC, Woodside, Melbourne Water, and the Alfred Hospital. His Google Scholar profile shows 6,612 citations and an h-index of 37. Recent publications include "Degradation-Aware Charger Deployment, Battery Sizing, and Charge Scheduling for Electric Bus Fleets" (2026, IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification), "Dynamic Replanning for Improved Public Transport Routing" (2025, IJCAI), "Automatic core-guided reformulation via constraint explanation and condition learning" (2024, AAAI), "Efficient and Exact Public Transport Routing via a Transfer Connection Database" (2024, SoCS), and "Snapshot-optimal real-time ride sharing" (2024, Information). His research supports UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 7, 9, 11, and 15.
