Professor Peter J. Stuckey is a Professor in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University, and project leader in the Data61 CSIRO laboratory. Peter Stuckey is a pioneer in constraint programming, the science of modelling and solving complex combinatorial problems. He was a co-author of one of the first constraint logic programming systems CLP(R), and the first textbook on constraint programming. He was awarded the 2010 Google Australia Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science and the 2010 University of Melbourne Woodward Medal for Science and Technology. His current research focus is developing solver independent modelling languages for complex optimization problems as well as next generation solving technology to solve these problems.
