John Bartholdi is a Professor in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is a Director of The Supply Chain and Logistics Institute and holds the Manhattan Associates Chair of Supply Chain Management. He teaches courses in supply chain issues at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and in Georgia Tech's program of industry short courses. Bartholdi's research centers on problems of warehousing and distribution; but he reserves some time to publish on wider-ranging interests, including structural mechanics, voting, geography, computer science and biology.
Bartholdi graduated in 1968 with a degree in mathematics from the University of Florida (Woodrow Wilson Fellow, Phi Beta Kappa, High Honors) and then served two tours of duty in Southeast Asia as a paratrooper in Beach Jumper Unit One of Naval Special Warfare. He returned to complete a Ph.D. in Operations Research, also at the University of Florida. In addition to his current position, he has served on the faculties of the University of Michigan, the Shanghai University for Science and Technology, and the National University of Singapore. He was named a Presidential Young Investigator by the National Science Foundation, 1984-1989; and his work has also been supported by, among others, the Defense Logistics Agency, the Office of Naval Research, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, IBM, Pratt & Whitney, Ford Motor Company, Genuine Parts Co., The Home Depot, Manhattan Associates, and RPS. He won the 1999 Award for Technical Innovation by the Institute of Industrial Engineers and in 2005 was named a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science.
