Kaisa Miettinen is a Finnish mathematician and the Vice Rector of the University of Jyväskylä[2] in Finland. She is a Professor of Industrial Optimization with the Department of Mathematical Information Technology,[3] University of Jyväskylä, Finland. In addition, she heads the Industrial Optimization Group.[4]

Her research interests include multiobjective optimization (theory, methods, and software), multiple criteria decision making, nonlinear programming, evolutionary algorithms, hybrid approaches, as well as various applications of optimization. By 2015, Kaisa Miettinen has supervised 13 PhD theses[5] and, this year (2015), she is supervising three more candidates for PhD theses.

Education

Kaisa Miettinen received her Master of Science degree in Mathematics in 1988, her Licentiate of Philosophy degree in Mathematical Information Technology in 1990, and her PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) degree in Mathematical Information Technology in 1994, all from the University of Jyväskylä, Jyväskylä, Finland.

Career

Since 1987, Kaisa Miettinen has held various teaching and research positions funded by the Academy of Finland and University of Jyväskylä and became adjunct professor in information technology in the area of optimization at the University of Jyväskylä in 1997. In 1998, Kaisa Miettinen worked with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria. In 2004-2007, she was a Professor of Financial Mathematics at Helsinki School of Economics (currently Aalto University School of Business). Since 2007 she has worked at the University of Jyväskylä as a professor of industrial optimization and since 2012 as the vice-rector in charge of research. In 2011-2012 she was a part-time visiting professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Department of Mathematics, Division of Optimization and Systems Theory, in Stockholm, Sweden. She is an adjunct professor in Mathematical Methods and Applications of Decision Making at the Aalto University since 2008.

Together with her teaching and research work, Kaisa Miettinen occupies several scientific positions of trust. Presently, she is:

Software

In 1995, Kaisa Miettinen, along with her colleagues at the University of Jyväskylä, developed and made available WWW-NIMBUS[14] and IND-NIMBUS. WWW-NIMBUS was the first interactive multiobjective optimization software operating via the Internet. IND-NIMBUS is a multiobjective optimization software framework containing implementations of several interactive multiobjective optimization methods developed at the University of Jyväskylä.

Books

Kaisa Miettinen has written a monograph entitled Nonlinear Multiobjective Optimization (Kluwer/Springer, 1999).[15] She is co-editor of the proceedings of four Dagstuhl seminars. She has edited collections of articles entitled Multiobjective Optimization: Interactive and Evolutionary Approaches with J. Branke, K. Deb and R. Slowinski (Springer, 2008) and Evolutionary Algorithms in Engineering and Computer Science with M.M. Mäkelä, P. Neittaanmäki and J. Periaux (John Wiley & Sons, 1999).
