Charlle Sy

Charlle Sy is a Professor of Practice in Systems Engineering. She was a professor and research fellow in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at De La Salle University-Manila.

Her research interests are robust optimization and systems thinking. She developed an algorithmic framework called Target-Oriented Robust Optimization (TORO) which integrates uncertainty at the point of decision-making and guarantees computational tractability. Dr. Sy has extensively used TORO for the design and planning of engineering systems, including infrastructure and network planning in the fields of energy, production, and water networks. She received the 2023 Underwriters Laboratories ASEAN-U.S. Science Prize for Women for her work on energy and electrification.
