Dr Nikolaj Van Omme

CEO at Funartech

Speaker

I hold an MSc in pure mathematics, an MSc in theoretical computer science and a PhD in applied mathematics and industrial engineering. I've been solving complex industrial problems for more than 25 years while working with small, mid sized and big companies (Google, Juniper Networks).

Recently, I cofounded Funartech, a young Montreal startup that specializes in providing creative solutions to industrial problems by combining machine learning and operations research (applied mathematics). This entrepreneurial adventure leads me to work on challenging problems such as climate change or a hybridization of machine learning and operations research that might lead to real intelligence.
