s, he recalls his constructive and inspiring cooperation with supportive lecturers,
especially prof. Andrej Brodnik, PhD, and prof. Janez Žibert, PhD, who was also his
final thesis supervisor. In 2013, Irman proceeded with studies at the Technische Uni-
versität München. »My interests lay in international entrepreneurship, research and in-
novation,« he summarizes his plans for professional future. In the past years he very
successfully participated at several national and international innovation contests.
In the following decade, major challenges in science will be addressed through in-
tegration of various scientific disciplines. Mathematics, as a universal scientific lan-
guage, and Computer Science, with countless options for ever more optimal exploita-
tion of this language, will certainly play a leading role in these processes. Through the
concept of complementarity, the department also helps interlacing the disciplines of
Mathematics, Economics, Bioinformatics, and Environmental Sciences, following an
advanced concept of computing where computing can appear everywhere and can be
used anywhere. Backed with this broader perspective and equipped with all the neces-
sary skills, our graduates represent high quality ICT personnel.
Irman is currently the director and partner of the Swiss group Catenate, which counts
140 employees and has offices in six European countries. His biggest challenge rep-
resents the creation of the accelerator in Munich, where he wants to help interest-
ing start-ups in penetrating global markets. »Most of all, I wish my innovations would
prove useful and helpful to society.«
In May 2017, the Department hosted the 30th jubilee ECCO congress (European
Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization). For the first time the congress was joint-
ly organized by EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Socie-
ties) and ORSC (Operations Research Society of China). More than 100 research-
ers in the field of combinatorial optimization from Europe and China presented their
work, exchanged experiences, and discussed new theoretical and practical knowledge
in this field.
