Dr Boland is currently involved in teaching a first-year maths class, a third-year class in operations research, and an Honours level class in integer and combinatorial optimisation. She has a number of active research projects in both theoretical and applied operations research, and is currently supervising five PhD projects, one Honours project, and a third-year individual study project. Dr Boland regularly provides consulting services to industry in a number of areas, particularly in airline planning, transportation logistics and scheduling.

Current Postgraduate Supervision:

Timothy ROBINSON "Automatic Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation using hybrid integer/constraint"
Olivia MADILL "Robust and integrated transport scheduling optimisation"
Sophie DICKSON "A robust and integrated approach to transport scheduling"
Emily DUANE "Improving crane scheduling and container handling operations at seaport container terminals"

Past Postgraduate Supervision:

Christopher FRICKE "Applications of integer programming in open pit mining"
Liam T G MERLOT "Techniques for academic timetabling"

Recent Honours Students:

David BANNISTER
Thomas GREGSON
