Among other positions, he has served as co-director of MIT's Operations Research Center (1985–1991), of the Global Airline Industry Center (1999–2009) at MIT and of the FAA's National Center of Excellence in Aviation Operations Research (1996–2002). He has also served as editor-in-chief of Transportation Science (1986–1991) and as associate editor or board member of many scientific journals. He has 9 books and more than 100 professional publications to his credit, including the best-selling textbooks Urban Operations Research (co-authored with R. C. Larson), Airport Systems: Planning, Design, and Management (co-authored with R. de Neufville) and The Global Airline Industry (co-edited with P. Belobaba and C. Barnhhart). He has served as consultant to many of the busiest airports in the world, as well as to civil aviation authorities. Odoni is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of INFORMS, and the recipient of numerous awards for his teaching and research.
