Thomas L. Magnanti is an American engineer and Institute Professor and former Dean of the School of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Biograhpy

Magnanti received an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering from Syracuse University (1967) and master's degrees in both Statistics (1969) and Mathematics (1971) from Stanford University, where he also received his doctorate in Operations Research (1972).

Dr. Magnanti is Institute Professor and former Dean of the School of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has served on thesis committees for approximately 70 doctoral students, supervising over 25.

Magnanti has been Editor-in-Chief of the journal Operations Research.

Magnanti is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was a founding co-director of MIT's Leaders For Manufacturing Program and the System Design and Management program. He is a past President of the Operations Research Society of America (ORSA) and of the Institute of Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS).

He has received honorary doctorates from Linköping University, the Université de Montréal, and the Université Catholique de Louvain.

Work

Magnanti's teaching and research interests are in applied and theoretical aspects of large-scale optimization and operations research, specificly on the theory and application of large-scale optimization, particularly in the areas of network flows, nonlinear programming, and combinatorial optimization. He has conducted research on such topics as production planning and scheduling, transportation planning, facility location, logistics, and communication systems design.
