Giampaolo Liuzzi was born on 1972 in Rome. He graduated in 1997 and took his doctorate degree in operations research in 2001. Since July 2020 he is researcher at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering of "Sapienza" University of Rome. Till July 2020 he had a permanent position as Senior Researcher at the Institute for System Analysis and Computer Science (IASI) of the Italian National Research Council.
He is professor of Advanced Mathematical Analysis, Operations Research and Optimization of Complex Systems courses for the Faculty of Information Engineering, Informatics, and Statistics.
His research interests comprehend (but are not limited to):
- nonlinear constrained and unconstrained optimization; in this filed, he is interested in the definition and study of efficient Newton-type convergent algorithms for optimization problems.
- mixed integer optimization; he is particularly interested in defining algorithms for problems where some of the variables are restricted to take integer or discrete values and to their application to solve difficult engineering problems.
- global optimization; he studied and contributed substantially to the definition of various algorithms for global optimization belonging to both the heuristic and the exact calss of methods. He is also particularly interested in the study of deterministic global optimization algorithms for multi-objective and constrained problems.
- multiobjective optimization; he proposed and studied a-posteriori methods for multi-objective problems both in the gradient-based and derivative-free context.
- derivative-free or black-box optimization; he studied many problem types within the class of derivative-free optimization. Such problems cover global, multi-objective, constrained and mixed integer optimization problems. He is also administering the well-know Derivative-Free Library (DFL) available for public use at the url http://www.iasi.cnr.it/~liuzzi/DFL/
He pubblished more than 50 paper in international journals.

On October the 10th, 2014 he got the ASN for Associate Professor and on September the 24th, 2018 he got the ASN for Full Professor. He has a total of 788 citations and an h-index of 17 as reported by scopus.com.
