Andres Espinosa

I am a current Erasmus Mundus in Sustainable Systems Engineering (EMSSE) student living in Compiègne, France.

In 2025, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering and minors in both Economics and Sales Engineering.

I have experience in software engineering, supply chain optimization, and project management for a Fortune 50 company, and I am also the primary author of an award-winning paper in AI research.

Software Engineering

I am currently working in Cincinnati, Ohio as a Software Engineering Intern for Procter & Gamble. I have also worked on a few personal and academic projects including GatorPy, a custom LP solver Python Package.

Optimization & AI Research

At I/ITSEC 2025, I presented a paper titled Multi-Agent Board Game Strategy Through Simulation and won Best Paper for the conference. A blog detailing the development process and research contributions is available here.

My research at the university was conducted under Dr. Aleksandr M. Kazachkov in the Center for Applied Optimization, where I created a transportation optimization back-end system for a local food bank. My undergraduate thesis titled A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Train Dispatch Networks was also conducted with the CAO.

Midi Crusher, an AI musicology personal research project, was awarded Best Undergraduate Poster at the 2024 Spring ISE Research Symposium.

Teaching & Leadership

During my bachelor’s, I worked as a teaching assistant for six courses in the UF College of Engineering: EEL3003 (Intro to Circuits), ESI3215C (ISE Statistics), ESI4313 (Operations Research II), ESI4610 (Data Analytics I), EIN4343 (Inventory and Supply Chain Management), ESI4611 (Machine Learning).

In 2025, I was the Ambassador Lead Chair for the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department. I founded and lead the UF ISE Introduction to Research Program, a program that continues to lower the entry barrier for dozens of students to enter academic research. I was also a software lead for the Audio Engineering Society where I led workshops on writing bossa nova music and creating generative music AI models.
