John
Hooker is Professor of Operations Research and T. Jerome Holleran
Professor of Business Ethics and Social Responsibility at Carnegie Mellon
University. He joined the Tepper School of
Business at CMU in 1984 and has since held several visiting posts, most
recently at the London School of Economics and the State University of
Campinas, Brazil. He holds doctoral degrees in philosophy and
operations research.
Professor Hooker has published 160+ articles, 7 books, and 5 edited volumes
on operations research, constraint programming, ethics, cross-cultural
management, and music. He is an INFORMS Fellow and recipient of the
INFORMS Computing Society Prize. He has served on several editorial
boards, including two decades as an area editor for INFORMS Journal on
Computing, and was elected chair of the INFORMS Computing Society.
He is equally active in the constraint programming community, having served
as conference and workshop organizer, as well as member of numerous
conference program
and award committees. He was elected to the Executive Committee of the
Association for Constraint Programming and received the association's Best
Paper Award.
He is a pioneer in the integration of optimization and constraint programming
technologies, having written the first book and co-chaired the first
conference on the subject. OR/CP integration provides the basis for
leading software packages like IBM's OPL Studio and the popular award-winning
solver SCIP. Professor Hooker also introduced logic-based Benders
decomposition, which is based on a concept of inference duality and has found
a wide variety of applications. More recently, he and T. Hadžić adapted
decision diagrams to optimization, and several investigators are now pursuing
this line of research.
Professor Hooker also has interests in business ethics and cross-cultural
management, as reflected in his books Business Ethics as Rational Choice and
Working across Cultures. He is founding editor-in-chief of the Journal
of Business Ethics Education and has co-organized conferences on
international corporate responsibility in Europe, Asia, North America and the
Middle East. He has lived and worked in Australia, Brazil, China,
Denmark, India, Qatar, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and
Zimbabwe, and has extensive experience in Germany and Mexico. He has
also written a number of musical compositions for keyboard, chamber
ensembles, and chorus.
Professor Hooker received a Distinguished Academic Leadership Award in 2001
for his leadership and reorganization of the Tepper
School's undergraduate business administration program. He was recognized
with an Award for Sustained Teaching Excellence in 2009 and the Gerald
Thompson Excellence in the Classroom Award in 2016.
